Figure 1
Ewald construction for a rotation experiment. An incident X-ray beam k0 with length 1/λ is reflected by a series of net planes in the direction k1 if the corresponding reciprocal-lattice vector [{\bf d}_{hkl}^*] coincides with the Ewald sphere. In an arbitrary orientation of the crystal lattice [{\bf d}_{hkl}^*] is not in a reflecting position but can be rotated around the spindle axis so that the Bragg condition is met and [{\bf d}_{hkl}^*] makes an angle of 90° − θ with the X-ray beam k0.
