A prototype instrument has been developed which allows the simultaneous acquisition of both X‐ray diffraction and X‐ray fluorescence data at a microscopic length scale for mapping studies on materials. The instrument takes full advantage of the performance of recently developed optics and detectors to optimize the detection of low‐intensity signals with a monochromatic X‐ray microbeam of 20 µm diameter with a laboratory X‐ray source.
