A multicrystal UHV monochromator equipped with up to four different monochromator crystals, which can be exchanged in situ, is described. The monochromator is designed as a transmission monochromator in horizontal scattering geometry allowing the `quasi-white' beam, after transmission through X-ray-transparent diamond or beryllium monochromator crystals, to be utilized in independent downstream stations.
