For rapid small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements in laboratories, we have designed and assembled a SAXS measurement system, which includes a new point-focusing camera using a doubly curved monochromator of a W/Si multilayer. As the two-dimensional detector and the X-ray source, an imaging plate (IP) and a rotating-anode generator operated at 40 kV and 30 mA with a microfocus of 0.1 × 0.1 mm2 are used. As an example of time-resolved SAXS measurements with our system, an observation of smectic A-nematic transition of a thermotropic liquid crystal 4-[(2‘-methylbutyl)phenyl]-4‘-n-octylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate is reported. To correct the broadening due to the beam divergence and enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the data, two-dimensional deconvolution based on the maximum entropy method (MaxEnt) has been employed. A SAXS image of a uniaxially extended high-density polyethylene film was reconstructed from noisy data obtained by an X-ray exposure of only 3 s. The deconvolution was shown to give quanti...
