Same instrument, double the efficiency. Here’s how.
It’s been almost five full years since we started keeping detailed operational statistics on our X-ray scattering machine. It’s also been a little more than […]

Presentation – how to run a (lab) SAXS instrument efficiently
Just in case you haven’t subscribed to my YouTube channel; I uploaded a presentation of mine which I presented at the 2022 SNI conference in […]
Looking at something else: Robotics in the lab
So with our MOUSE instrument churning through an unprecedented number of samples, we’ve got to keep it well fed, preferably with consistent sample series. That’s […]
USAXS Updates
Over the last half year (damn 2022 goes fast!) I haven’t spent so much time on the USAXS project (see our last publication from 2021 […]
Skip! A way to ignore diffraction peaks in a McSAS3 fit
Over the years, we’ve had more than a few complex samples which showed diffraction peaks from regular structures intermixed in the small-angle scattering signal from […]
A dense dataset – nanoparticle composites
We have worked on composites before, but never like this. These are the preliminary results from a series of experiments on nanoparticle-polymer composites, which have […]
SAS2021/2 – going for remote attendance.
While SAS2018 in the US was a blast, and (back then) I was very much looking forward to visiting Brazil in 2021, the situation has […]
Data analysis round robin – deadline extension until 24th of April
We’ve had a really good set of entries for the data analysis round robin already, 28 so far. However, we suspect that we need at […]
Reminder: Data Analysis Round Robin, deadline end of March!
Hello everyone, just a quick reminder that we’re still very much open for submissions for the data analysis round robin until (at least) the end […]
MOUSE performance exceeds 50% in 2021!
Despite a breakdown of the instrument, or maybe because of it, 2021 has seen an amazing performance by the MOUSE lab. This is largely due […]
