Abstract
THE method described by Bragg1 for the artificial production of the image of a crystal structure from its X-ray diffraction pattern is of fundamental importance in the subject of X-ray optics. The experiment, however, requires the use of two accurate lenses which may not be available in most laboratories, and it is the purpose of the present brief communication to show how simpler apparatus can be made to serve the same purpose.
