Figure 2
A 2D representation of reciprocal space depicting Ewald spheres for polychromatic diffraction spanning the longest wavelength shown in red to the shortest in blue. The volume between the red and blue spheres is excited and the intensity measured at the detector in the direction of the highlighted vectors corresponds to the integral of diffraction intensities along an uncertainty line segment (ULS) (green line). Candidate RLPs (dark green dots) lie in the volume between shells depicted by the dashed circles. Note that the red, purple and blue vectors are parallel and therefore the corresponding photons arrive at the same pixel of the detector. However, since the photons have different wavelengths, they do not interfere coherently and their intensities are simply added together.
