A number of small‐angle scattering cameras make use of X‐ray focusing mirrors, such as the double‐mirror camera of A. Franks [ Proc. Phys. Soc. (1955). B 68 , 1054] and the mirror‐monochromator system of H. E. Huxley & W. Brown [ J. Mol. Biol. (1967). 30 , 383]. Among the factors limiting the angular resolution, which determines the maximum distance over which long‐range order can be detected by X‐ray diffraction, are the finite focus of the X‐ray source and the inherent aberrations of the X‐ray lenses.
