This document discusses the capabilities and characteristics of microbeam facilities across major synchrotrons, including Spring-8, ESRF, APS, ALS, and CHESS. Attention is given to important parameters such as beam size on samples, divergence in vertical and horizontal directions, and photon intensity. The analysis emphasizes the significance of evaluating divergence, beam intensity, and the scattering process collectively. It highlights the advancements in microbeam x-ray analysis, with newly designed ring facilities featuring microspot beamlines, contributing to the growing significance of this research area.

3. Important Parameters Beam size on sample
Not necessarily equal
to the beam size at focus point.
Divergence
These terms may differ in vertical and horizontal directions.
# of photons in beam (intensity)
Divergence, beam intensity and the scattering process must be evaluated together.
Only the photons within the acceptance aperture of the process are relevant.
