Method to obtain parallel beam from X-ray tube for powder diffraction. HPS parallel slits to limit axial divergence, ES entrance slits (can be replaced by pair of flat parallel steel bars), S specimen, VPS parallel slits to define diffracted beam, M flat monochromator (can be omitted). D detector. See also Fig. 2.3.2.4(a)[link].
