“…Two comments made by the authors are especially worth noting: firstly, that special pains were taken to employ a grating with a well polished surface and a light ruling, so as to obtain a good reflection from the space between the grooves; and secondly, they could see no reason why wavelength measurements of the type they described should not be made fully as precise as the absolute measurements by reflection from a crystal. A concave grating was first used by Osgood (1927), who measured spectral lines between 4 and 20 nm in a vacuum spectrograph. By the early 1930s widespread research was being undertaken in x-ray spectroscopy.…”

“…These workers used the concave grating in normal incidence mode and consequently extremely shorter wavelengths were not detected due to the rapid fall off in reflectivity with decreasing wavelength. By constructing a grazing incidence concave grating spectrograph, Osgood (1927) observed spectra from ~200 nm down to the K α x-ray line of carbon at 4.4 nm, thus closing the gap between the x-ray and extreme ultraviolet regions.…”
