β¦ Synopsis
The basic features of crystal diffraction and their application to the construction of a crystal diffraction lens for focusing energetic gamma rays are described using examples from the work performed at the Argonne National Laboratory.
Both on-axis and off-axis performance are discussed. The review includes the use of normal crystals, bent crystals, and crystals with variable crystal-plane spacing to develop both condenser-type lenses and pointto-point imaging lenses.

A fast X-ray diffraction apparatus has been developed for obtaining the local structures of bulk metallic glasses at the supercooled liquid state by applying the DebyeΒ±Scherrer camera geometry in combination with a curved position sensitive proportional counter. This arrangement makes it possible to
