Kossel line patterns contain information on the crystalline structure, such as the
magnitude and the phase of Bragg reflections. For technical reasons, most of
these patterns are obtained using electron beam excitation, which leads to
surface sensitivity that limits the spatial extent of the structural information. To
obtain the atomic structure in bulk volumes, X-rays should be used as the
excitation radiation. However, there are technical problems, such as the need
for high resolution, low noise, large dynamic range, photon counting, twodimensional
pixel detectors and the small spot size of the exciting beam, which
have prevented the widespread use of Kossel pattern analysis. Here, an
experimental setup is described, which can be used for the measurement of
Kossel patterns in a reasonable time and with high resolution to recover
structural information
