measurements. Figure 9.41(c) shows the Mössbauer spectra of α-Fe foil with a thickness of 28 μm. They were measured either by a conventional Mössbauer driver or
by the moving- coil actuator.
The second technique is the focusing of the 14.4 keV γ-rays. We use a multicapillary X-ray lens MCX lens, developed initially for X-ray micro-beam analysis.
The MCX lens provides a spot size of 75 μmφ in diameter and a focal distance
of 50 mm (HAMAMATSU). The spot size of γ-rays was measured by mapping
the transmitted 14.4 keV-γ-rays through a Ta-pinhole collimator of 200 μmφ in
diameter. In Fig. 9.42, we show the image and the line profile through the spot centre
