This is a function of a 2-crystal monochromator. If the Bragg planes of the two crystals are exactly parallel, that's canned being tuned. Let's say you have Si111 crystals. Not only is the 111 allowed, but so are the 333, 444, ... Thus, if you're set for 3keV, you'll also get some at 9keV, 12

Dear all, I'm new to the community and I was wondering if I can ask some basic questions here. I heard the beamline scientist mention "tune" and "detune" and I saw in some materials say "detune to get rid of high order harmonics", but what is "harmonics"? and why it's necessary to detune to get ri
