Extract

Since the original experiments of M. von Laue on the diffraction of X-rays by crystals, other and more suitable methods of research have been devised. The Bragg ionization-chamber method and the Debye-Scherrer powder method are now quite well known. The newest technique is that of the so-called 'rotating crystal', which is based essentially on some experiments of M. de Broglie. This method was first employed and developed in the Kaiser Wilhehm Institut für Faserstoffchemie in Berlin. It has recently been extended by the work of J. D. Bernal in the Royal Institution in London.

There are two methods of making this type of photograph. In both a small crystal is rotated in a beam of X-rays and the reflected beams recorded photographically, in one case on a flat plate, and in the other on a cylindrical film the axis of which coincides with the axis about which the crystal is rotated.
