Due to its excellent spatially and spectroscopically resolving capabilities, it is possible to use the CXC for a broad variety of applications. A multitude of experiments can be performed with a single camera for a broad range of samples. Apart from the four applications introduced in detail, there are many more:

• XRF (X-ray flouresence spectroscopy)

• TXRF (total reflection XRF)

• Elemental mapping

• XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy) / NEXAFS (near edge X-ray absorption fine structure)

• GEXAF (grazing exit X-ray absorption flouresence)

• Fluctuation X-ray scattering (FXS)

• Transmission X-ray imaging

• Laue X-ray diffraction
