Oscillation limit ωhkl as function of X-ray wavelength or photon energy. A Z-cut α-quartz perpendicular to the X-ray beam can oscillate ±ωhkl before reflection (hkl) occurs. The black curve is a typical wavelength normalization obtained at BioCARS 14-ID-B beamline of APS, which is a good representation of the incident spectrum of the X-ray beam. If a monochromatic wavelength is selected near the peak, the quartz chip can oscillate ±6° without producing a Bragg reflection up to a resolution of 1.54 Å from the quartz crystal.
