Disputed discovery: The beginnings of X-ray diffraction in crystals — •Michael Eckert — Deutsches Museum, Forschungsinstitut, Museumsinsel 1, D-80538 München

The discovery of X-ray diffraction in crystals was based on misconceptions about the nature of X-rays. The background of "Laue's discovery" and its early repercussions are described from the perspective of contemporary views in 1912. The riddle concerned the origin of the monochromacy observed in the Laue spots.
