Observations of x‐ray scattering from deformed and undeformed metal foils using an evacuated film chamber give evidence of double Bragg reflections. Experiments have been done on single crystals and polycrystalline foils of aluminum and copper and also on an annealed powder sample of copper. The scattering was measured in the angular range from 1° to 50° and agrees very well with theoretical considerations of expected double reflection effects in different states of deformation. Diffraction by lattice defects in the deformed state cannot be observed because its intensity is too small in comparison to that of double reflections.
