In recent years, new components for x‐ray analysis have been developed: capillary optics, microfocus x‐ray tubes and compact detectors, e.g. energy‐dispersive detectors without liquid nitrogen cooling. Microfocus tubes have a relatively low power but their brightness is up to 100 times higher than for normal x‐ray tubes which are used in diffractometry. A combination of these tubes with highly efficient capillary optical elements allows one to obtain parallel or focused beams of high intensity. Combining such a special source with detectors of different kinds, a compact system can be realized which may be successfully used in micro‐XRF, in diffraction and microdiffraction, etc. The system presented is designed in a modular way so that the components may be replaced by each other. Some examples of applications of such systems are reported. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
