(a) Elevation of the sphere of reflection. O is the origin of the reciprocal lattice. C is the centre of the Ewald sphere. The incident beam is shown in the plane. (b) Plan of the sphere of reflection. R is the projection of the rotation axis on the equatorial plane. (c) Perspective diagram. P is the relp in the reflection position with the cylindrical coordinates [\zeta, \xi, \varphi]. The angular coordinates of the diffracted beam are [\nu, \Upsilon]. (d) Stereogram to show the direction of the diffracted beam, [\nu, \Upsilon], with DD′, normal to the incident beam and in the equatorial plane, as the projection diameter.
