Figure 13
A full 360° rotation of a crystal is here represented as the equivalent rotation of the Ewald sphere with the crystal stationary. Reflections in the blind region, close to the rotation axis, will never cross the surface of the sphere. The blind region is narrow at low resolution and wide at high resolution. Its half-width equals the diffraction angle θ at a given resolution.
