TL;DR: The basic idea behind this so-called "color X-ray camera" (CXC) is to combine an energy dispersive array detector for X-rays, in this case a pnCCD, with polycapillary optics, which demonstrates the suitability of the camera forX-ray fluorescence analytics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new high-resolution X-ray imager based on a pnCCD detector and a polycapillary optics, which is operated in split frame mode allowing a high frame rate of 400 Hz with an energy resolution of 152 eV for Mn K α (5.9) at 450 kcps.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-brilliance microfocus x-ray tube with efficient polycapillary optics enables one to realize an experimental arrangement for performing local fluorescence analysis at the same point where the electron beam hits the sample.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the experimental setup for monochromatic excitation shows clear potentials for improvements of the image in comparison to the conventional polychromatic case.

TL;DR: First results obtained with a monochromator module mounted at the exit of the X-ray tube of a conventional clinical mammography unit are presented, suggesting thatmonochromatization has a potential for improving image quality or decreasing dose in X-rays.
