The correct formulas for geometrical factors for correction of diffracted intensities in Seemann-Bohlin diffractometry were tested. A Huber 653 goniometer, gold and titanium nitride layers, white tin, and rutile as specimens were used in the reflection mode. A Huber 642 goniometer and olivine as a specimen were used in the transmission mode. It was found that, due to a variable specimen-detector distance during 2θ scan, the variable efficiency of the Soller slits in the diffracted beam must be taken into account. The model describing this effect analytically is presented. As a final test the structures of white tin, rutile, and olivine were refined from the measured data corrected for different factors.
