Several factors influence the choice of anode and focus.
The primary considerations include the use of the tube, whether for powder diffractometry or single work, together with the minimisation of the background radiation.
The selection then depends on factor such as the sample penetration required, the d-value range under study and possible problems with fluorescence of the sample.
For most diffractometry applications, both high resolution and high intensity are desirable. Here, a long fine focus tube offers great advantages, combining the resolution of a fine focus tube with much of the intensity of a broad focus tube.
The degree of collimation normally employed in camera work demands a high intensity source, such as is provided by a fine focus tube.
Normal focus tubes offer a compromise between intensity and line resolution, for example they can be employed to advantage when both a point-focus camera and a diffractometer are to be mounted on a single tube shield.
In quantitative X-ray diffractometry the degree of collimation is comparatively minor, while the sample is usually large. If intensity is the only major requirement then a broad focus tube is preferred.
