Reciprocal-lattice representation of the effect of a monochromator with reciprocal-lattice vector τ on the reciprocal-space element of a beam with divergence α. (a) For an ideal crystal with a lattice constant width Δτ; (b) for a mosaic crystal with mosaicity η, showing that a beam with small divergence, α, is transformed into a broad exit beam with divergence 2η + α; (c) for a gradient crystal with interplanar lattice spacing changing over Δτ, showing that the divergence is not changed in this case.
