The capabilities of an Si(511) channel‐cut monochromator used with an X‐ray tube with copper anode are presented. By passing this Si(511) channel‐cut crystal, X‐rays become both monochromatic and linearly polarized. The monochromaticity of the resulting beam is proved by angular dispersive measurements. Elastic scattering was used to characterize the degree of linear polarization.
