Hello Everyone
Since I'm convinced that ccp4bb is the repository of all knowledge
about all diffraction phenomena...
A colleague would like to do some fiber diffraction studies. I
have an RAxis - I know we can put the fiber in the beam and shoot
it and get some pattern on the detector.
Can anyone recommend some reading material or tutorials for me to
learn more about what I've agreed to do?
Assuming the material is actually crystalline enough to give a
pattern on the detector, I can pick peaks and get d-spacings.
What more sophisticated, readily available methods (software?) is
out there for, perhaps, data reduction (if there is such a thing
for fiber diffraction) or subsequent analysis.
Thanks,
Sue
