Dear Jacob, closely related to Ethan's explanation, but not quite the same, the contribution of f' and f" is still affected by the fall off from the ADPs, i.e. they also fall off exponentially, even for high quality crystals with a very low B-factors. The effect that you describe, however, sti

Dear Crystallographers, It seems to be a usual assumption that anomalous scattering is essentially angularly-independent, e.g.: http://pd.chem.ucl.ac.uk/pdnn/diff1/anomscat.htm But why the can't we see anomalous-only spots at e.g. 1 Ang resolution in a 2 Ang data set? This actually has some r
