A novel approach to the remote-control system for the compact multi-crystal energy-dispersive spectrometer for X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) applications has been developed. This new approach is based on asynchronous communication between software components and on reactive design principles. In this paper, the challenges faced, their solutions, as well as the implementation and future development prospects are identified. The main motivation of this work was the development of a new holistic communication protocol that can be implemented to control various hardware components allowing both independent operation and easy integration into different SCADA systems.

An X-ray analyzer-based optics with a zoom function is proposed for observing various samples with apparent-absorption contrast, phase contrast and scattering contrast. The proposed X-ray optics consists of a collimator crystal and an analyzer crystal arranged in a nondispersive (+, -) geometry with a sample placed between them. For the implementation of the zoom function, an asymmetrically cut crystal in the rotated-inclined geometry was used for the analyzer. Proof-of-principle experiments were performed at the vertical wiggler beamline BL-14B of the Photon Factory. First, the magnification was set to 1×, and then it was zoomed into the optimal magnification (10×). At these magnifications, tri-modal contrast cross-sectional images of a sample were obtained by computed tomography. It was confirmed that the image quality at 10× was superior to that at 1×. This achievement opens up new possibilities for observing an entire sample or regions of interest within a sample at optimal magnification, and is expected to be useful for materials science, condensed matter physics, archeology and biomedical science.

Debye–Scherrer patterns, obtained from X-ray diffraction experiments using synchrotron light in transmission geometry, were analysed to construct generalized pole figures. Generalized orientation distribution functions of cold-rolled and then annealed interstitial-free steel were obtained to investigate microstructure developments in this material.
