COMMENTS ON THE USE OF ASYMMETRIC MONOCHROMATORS FOR X-RAY-DIFFRACTION ON A SYNCHROTRON SOURCE - REPLY

The issue raised in Nave et al. [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 66, 2174 (1995)] i s the description and results given by Sanchez del Rio and Cerrina [Nu cl. Instrum. Methods A 301, 589 (1991)] and has no bearing on our unde rstanding or otherwise of the SHADOW code (we do not refer to SHADOW i n our article). The problem is whether Sanchez del Rio and Cerrina dem onstrate that a demagnified image is obtained from asymmetric monochro mators when operating in the white beam on a synchrotron source.
