Sorbitol hexa‐acetate (SHA) crystals are now available which, in comparison with those previously grown, are at least an order of magnitude better for the reflection of Mg Kα radiation. Although the new crystals are still only half as good, in terms of absolute peak intensity, as ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP), freedom from background interferences and better long term reproducibility should make SHA a reasonably attractive alternative to ADP.
