X-ray energy dependence of the properties of the focused beams produced by polycapillary X-ray lens.

We investigated X-ray energy distribution in an X-ray microbeam produced by a polycapillary X-ray lens in combination with a sealed-type X-ray tube. This polycapillary X-ray lens has an output focal distance (OFD) of approximately 15 mm. The size of the X-ray microbeam and its OFD were estimated by using a wire scanning method.
