Abstract
- We present a compact 3D printed x-ray emission spectrometer based on the von Hamos geometry that represents a significant upgrade to the existing von Hamos geometry-based miniature x-ray emission spectrometer (miniXES) [Mattern et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 83(2), 023901 (2012)]. The upgrades include the incorporation of a higher pixel density 500K detector for improved energy resolution and an enlarged sample area to accommodate a wider range of sample formats. The versatile spectrometer houses removable crystal holders that can be easily exchanged, as well as movable alignment eyelets that give flexibility in Bragg angle selection. Designed for ease of manufacture, all the components, except for the apertures, can be 3D printed and readily assembled. We describe its implementation in measurements of resonant and non-resonant Cu Kα and Kβ x-ray emission and report the theoretical and measured energy resolution and collected solid angle of the emission.
