X‐ray optics with high energy resolution and collection efficiency are required in X‐ray spectroscopy for investigations of chemistry and coordination. This is particularly the case if the X‐ray source emits a rather weak signal into a large solid angle. In the present work the performance of a spectrometer based on thin mosaic crystals was investigated for different spectroscopic methods using various X‐ray sources. It was found that, even with low‐power X‐ray sources, advanced high‐resolution X‐ray spectroscopy can be performed.
