Description/Abstract | The invention is a new type of diffraction crystal designed for sagittally focusing photons of various energies.^The invention is based on the discovery that such focusing is not obtainable with conventional crystals because of distortion resulting from anticlastic curvature.^The new crystal comprises a monocrystalline base having a front face contoured for sagittally focusing photons and a back face provided with rigid, upstanding, stiffening ribs restricting anticlastic curvature.^When mounted in a suitable bending device, the reflecting face of the crystal can be adjusted to focus photons having any one of a range of energies. |
