The authors describe simulations and experiments with straight and tapered glass capillaries for 5keV--25keV x-rays. Effects of tilting capillaries on the exiting pattern of x-rays have been investigated in experiments and simulations. The simulations have employed two dimensional ray tracing. They have also used simulations to investigate effects of source-to-capillary distance and of source size on transmitted x-ray flux for straight and tapered capillaries. A system using x-ray microbeams for spatially resolved mapping of microstructure, strain, and composition is also briefly described.
