Abstract:
In the Introduction section, we offer a historical overview of main experimental and theoretical developments in the field of X-ray crystal analysis. The main part contains a differential approach to solving the problem of diffraction of X-rays by crystals within the scalar theory. Examples of numerical simulation for the basic types of crystal lattices are included.

Keywords:
X-ray diffraction, diffraction by crystals, differential method, the basic types of crystal lattices.
