A new method has been developed which results in a major improvement in count rate of Bragg--Brentano-type diffractometers. The method uses a focusing exit beam monochromator and a multichannel detector to achieve this improvement. The method is very efficient in eliminating background and can have very high resolution. Existing diffractometers can be easily modified to take advantage of this technique.
