Slits and macroscopic objects such as edges give rise to refraction and diffraction. In this Letter we show the effect of Cd edges and slits if they are inserted between the monochromator and analyser in a double crystal diffractometer. Despite to the use of wavelengths of tens of nanometer and strong absorbing materials refraction is observed which contributes to enhanced wing intensity of the instrumental curve of the double crystal diffractometer.
