Figure 3.4: Example of a DISCRIMINATOR scan for PMMA sample, Cu radiation) 
Figure 3.5 shows a discriminator scan for a SiO2/Fe2O3 mixture (5:1), Cu radiation). The detector is 
positioned for the Quartz main reflection, Fe-fluorescence is generated by the Hematite phase. Energy 
lines at 6.4 and 7.06 (Fe Kα and Kβ) and 8.04 keV (Cu Kα) appear.
