1955 C. B. Walker tr. A. Guinier & G. Fournet Small-angle Scattering X-rays iii. 104 It might be thought that the double monochromatization and the large distance from X-ray tube to film would require a prohibitive increase in the exposure time.
1955 Rev. Sci. Instruments 26 564 The usual method of monochromatization consists of inserting (at the required Bragg angle) a single crystal between the x-ray source and the specimen.
1967 J. Leciejewicz tr. J. Auleytner X-ray Methods in Study of Defects in Single Crystals ii. 76 The only disadvantage of the method is the very long exposure time caused by the low intensity due to precise monochromatization of the beam.
1996 Physical Rev. A. 53 902 The related momentum distribution..is determined by the collimation and monochromatization of the beam incident upon and traversing the interferometer.
