Genuine scientific principles: photon energy-wavelength conversion, Bragg diffraction, reciprocal-space scattering vectors, X-ray optics and sensor readout.
Engineering-inspired reconstruction: generic flange, monochromator, vacuum, water-cooling, shielding, sample manipulator and detector assemblies. Geometry and location are not taken from a real facility.
Simplified educational model: single monochromatic ray, first-order diffraction, one ideal lattice spacing and schematic sample-detector positioning. No crystal structure factors, absorption, source brilliance, wavefront propagation or background correction.
Speculative elements: instrument casing, dimensions, fictional model identity, access arrangement and visual motion. This is not a validated engineering or radiation-safety simulation.
