1. An X-ray diffractometer comprising:

  • a base;

    a first stage that is attached to the base and rotates around an ω

    axis;

    a rotation stage that holds a crystal in a position suitable for a diffraction measurement and is mounted on the first stage at a first predetermined distance from the ω

    axis; and

    an XYZ stage that holds large and multiple samples in a position suitable for a diffraction measurement and is mounted on the first stage at a position diametrically opposed to the rotation stage and at a second predetermined distance from the ω

    axis, both the rotation stage and the XYZ stage being mounted on the first stage during an X-ray diffraction measurement.
