Table 1. Strain resolution in forward and backward scattering positions at important scattering angles for a detector at 300 mm from the sample.
| Position | Scattering angle, 2Θ (°) | Strain resolution due to beam divergence | Strain resolution due to 35 µm position instability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forward scattering† | 10 | 3 × 10−3 | 5.7 × 10−4 |
| Forward scattering | 45 | 6 × 10−4 | 7 × 10−5 |
| Backward scattering | 135 | 1 × 10−4 | 1 × 10−5 |
Smallest achievable diffraction angle, closest position to the imaging camera.
