Motor controller madness – a tale as old as time
A few weeks ago, at about the same time we were swapping around motor stages for grazing incidence experiments, my trusty self-built motor controller version […]

Intensity in density
A few weeks ago, a dataset landed on my desk from a very dense system: scattering from dry, packed SiO2 nanoparticle powder. Dense systems add […]
12 corrections in a row
Just a couple of housekeeping notes: I’m giving talks in Europe in a month at the following locations: Unité Matériaux et Transformations (UMET), Lille on […]
New Live Fourier Transform code
More about this next week, but Ingo has kindly provided a Windows executable version of one of the latest development builds of the Monte Carlo code […]
Once more: writing data correction software
With the Bonse Hart instrument out of commission still (yet another failure in the X-ray generator target assembly), I decided it may be time to […]
Monte Carlo; now getting a GUI!
There have been many developments on the Monte Carlo program that I have been rather silent about. For those that forgot: this is the method […]
Programming your own data reduction? Check out fabIO and pyFAI
Reading in the detector data, and programming methods for that, is one of the more tedious tasks of any data reduction program. Those of you […]
Monte-Carlo: now in 2D!
Small-angle scattering analysis has never been easy for those working with oriented nanostructures (e.g. fibres, processed polymers, rolled metal alloys), whose structure may lead to […]
Free Code! McSAS: A Monte-Carlo way for retrieving particle size distributions.
Good news for those of you on the hunt for a way to get polydispersity (size distribution) information from your scattering patterns. Two pieces of […]
A new year, seven publications to write and a short movie
Dear scatterers, First of all, allow me to wish you a very happy 2013, wishing you much comfort, many good meetings and world peace. With […]
