A reflection grating spectrometer works in a very similar way an optical prism does by spreading the incoming light as a function of its different wavelength components. In fact, in the case of XMM, the reflection gratings are nothing more than mirrors with tiny grooves on them.... XMM is the first X-ray mission to fly a reflection grating and will identify lines of elements(like iron, oxygen, silicon, magnesium) common in astrophysical plasmas. 3, record 3, English, - reflection%20grating%20spectrometer
