Figure 2.2.1.3

A multiple component spot in Laue geometry. A ray of multiplicity 5 is shown as an example. The inner point A corresponds to d and a wavelength λ, the next point, B, is d/2 and wavelength λ/2. The outer point E corresponds to d/5 and λ/5. Rotation of the sample will either exclude inner points (at the λmax surface) or outer points (at the λmin surface) and so determine the recorded multiplicity.
