Complete Spectral Diagrams of Crystals

Abstract

IN NATURE of Dec. 21, 1929 (vol. 124, p. 946), W. Linnik describes a complete spectral diagram1 of quartz produced by a conical X-ray pencil, which pencil is obtained by the movement in two directions of a narrow pencil about a point. The rays reflected from inside the crystal come out on the side of the crystal opposite the source of rays and fall on a photographic plate. A screen is moved with the ray and prevents the direct unreflected pencil from falling on the plate.
