Monochromator crystals

Monochromators are critical equipment in the x-ray spectrometers. We have an extensive pool of crystals that are shared between the spectrometers.
They have been fully characterized using our Laue spectrometer, allowing for asymmetric mode experiments.

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.
