Editing X-ray microscope (section)

==Analysis==
Additionally, X-rays cause [[fluorescence]] in most materials, and these emissions can be analyzed to determine the [[chemical element]]s of an imaged object. Another use is to generate [[diffraction]] patterns, a process used in [[X-ray crystallography]]. By analyzing the internal reflections of a diffraction pattern (usually with a computer program), the three-dimensional structure of a [[crystal]] can be determined down to the placement of individual atoms within its molecules. X-ray microscopes are sometimes used for these analyses because the samples are too small to be analyzed in any other way.
