James,

Thank you. I'm working in company which produce tool and special steels 
and we used Bruker D8 on this steel samples. We wish to reduce 
background from the steel matrix in our analysis.
Now we used scintillation detector and Cr Kalpha radiation. When work 
with powder samples or thin films or other alloys like Cu, Al, Pb the 
results are ok. In the attached file is pattern of 12% Cr steel with 
retained austenite from the bulk sample (metallographic sample). 
Background is to high. Do you think that the SOL-X detector is suitable 
to reduce this background or  maybe is graphite monochromator the better 
solution.

Best regards,

Henrik
