Comparison between optical microscopy images (left) and corresponding low resolution μ-XRD raster map (right) of rectangular MnAs patterns. The microstructure sizes in vertical and horizontal directions range from 0.75 μm to 12 μm. The μ-XRD raster map serves to localize the microstructures. The low resolution and distortions in it are in part due to the larger size of the X-ray spot along its direction of incidence (θ i ≈ 24°), in part due to the limitations of the scanning stage (drift, wobbling,), which is not specifically designed for the large image scan.
