Dear Lucas, as a rule of thumb, aperture and scattered beam angle in degree is 0.5 * slit width in mm. Detector angle in degree is 0.33 * slit width in mm. However, there is also a conversion table with exact values in the D5000 manual.

Oktober 2016 03:44 An: rietveld_l@ill.fr Betreff: Slits from an old Siemens Dear X-ray diffraction colleagues, I'm a Philips / Panalytical user from a long time and now our group is trying to put an old (1989) Siemens D5000 theta/2theta diffractometer to work again. I'm used to work with slits in degrees but the D5000 works with slits in mm. Are anyone familiar with the conversion of the slits from mm to degrees? Thank you very much. Regards. -- MEng.
