DEFINITION

Classification: 378/82

Spatial energy dispersion:

(under subclass 70) Subject matter including means for physically spreading out an X-ray beam into its various energy components by diffraction, e.g., spectrometers and monochromators.

(1) Note. This subclass includes means for spatial energy separation of X-rays, which means function regardless of the origin or manner of production of the X-rays.
