Description: Uses animation and live photography to show the source of X-rays, their position in the electromagnetic spectrum, and their use in determining crystal structure and analyzing chemical compounds. The behavior of light and X-rays are compared and the crystal is shown to be the best diffraction grating for X-rays. Explains the operation of the X-ray ionization spectrometer and the method by which the crystal structure and chemical composition of compounds can be determined. Several industrial applications of this technique are briefly discussed.
