Spherical wavefields in the Laue case are obtained when the real part of the crystal structure factor is zero or small compared with the imaginary part. The results are the same as in the conventional case where the real part is large. Through this work, it is shown that virtual wavefields on the vacuum side should be taken into account to explain the obtained results. It is also shown that, to obtain the virtual wavefields, a modification of the conventional spherical wave theory is necessary.
