Table 2. Monochromator crystals.

Crystal Asymmetric angle (°) Optimum energy / wavelength (keV) / (Å)
Ge(111) 7.06 12.7 / 0.98
  7.61 11.8 / 1.05
  13.05 7.0 / 1.78
Ge(220) 8.15 18.0 / 0.69

The asymmetric angles are the actual values, not the designed ones.

It may be usable but the beam focusing and monochromaticity become incompatible at energy/wavelength deviating from this optimum.
