X-ray focusing and wavelength selection

Abstract

X-ray optics that include (i) achromatic collimating optics that is adapted to collimate an input X-ray beam to provide a collimated X-ray beam; (ii) an adjustable diffraction unit that is adapted to (a) receive the collimated X-ray beam, while being configured according to a current configuration that is associated with a current wavelength selected out of different wavelengths, the current configuration is selected out of different configurations that are associated with the different wavelengths, and (b) filter the collimated X-ray beam to provide a filtered collimated X-ray beam of the current wavelength; and (iii) achromatic focusing optics that is configured to focus the filtered collimated X-ray beam to provide a focused filtered X-ray beam.
