DCC Optics (Double Curved Crystal)
Description
Improved Performance with Doubly Curved Crystal Optics
Highly monochromatic X-ray beams focused in three dimensions can be obtained by using Doubly Curved Crystals (DCC). Crystals of mica, graphite, silicon, germanium, and others are used for an energy range of 1.5 to 58.KeV. Crystal optics reflect X-rays based on Bragg diffraction.
