An X-ray study of test crystals for which the mosaicity and the perfection of the microcrystallites were measured was performed for the XMM X-ray spectrometer. These parameters play a significant role in determining the overall efficiency and the achievable energy-resolution of the XMM spaceborne spectrometer. The measurements were done with a four crystal X-ray spectrometer using three perfect quartz-crystals as beam defining element. Results from measurements on test crystals ranging from LiF(2d = 2.85A) to KAP(2d = 26.6A) are presented. The measurements were performed on flat crystal pieces. The results are very encouraging for application of the proposed crystals as dispersive elements in a high resolution dispersive spectrometer for X-ray astronomy.
