Monochromator crystals

Monochromators are critical equipment in the x-ray spectrometers. We have an extensive pool of crystals that are shared between the spectrometers.
Would you like to support us? We are in need of a Ge(331) wafer or a R=0.5 m crystal for Ti K edge studies, which would benefit from that reflection instead of our current Si(400) crystal.
