Changing jobs…
Dear all, I will be heading off again into the world of anisotropic scattering after a two-year stint in isotropic scattering. I will be working […]

Join the SAS session at the MRS-J conference in Yokohama, Japan! (19-21 December)
There is an upcoming conference in the Japanese city of Yokohama, mere minutes from Tokyo. At that materials research society conference, one particularly fine international […]
Careful when using Molybdenum radiation sources
Just a quick heads-up. There’s a chance of 0.5% low-energy contamination when using molybdenum or silver radiation sources, even when using focusing devices, according to […]
Live Fourier Transform for Windows
[Ed: a new, completely rewritten version of this code can be found here, with a precompiled Windows version available at the bitbucket site courtesy of […]
Revisiting observability in polydisperse systems: “real” polydispersity
edited on 2011-07-20 14:51 to add equation defining observability Of course I could not leave you hanging after the last post with that question “does […]
Observability in polydisperse systems. What is all the accuracy for?
Abstract of this post: In this post, I will show that for a spherical two-particle system, the observability of the smaller particle scales with the […]
Does it matter part 2: polarization factor and spherical corrections
In this series of posts, we take a quick look at some uncommon corrections you can do to your scattering patterns and we evaluate whether […]
Baby, and the perfect measurement made easier
I apologise for my low activity in the last few weeks. Those of you who are following my Twats (Twitter messages) will probably be able […]
Does it matter? part 1: sample direction-dependent absorption
This series is part of a set to determine which corrections matter when. We all heard -or read- about corrections Small-angle Scatterers do not need […]
Comments on Deschamps, 2011 and A clarification on Guinier for Polydisperse systems
After browsing through a recent Journal of Applied Crystallography, I came across a paper by Deschamps. It indicates to me that there is a slight […]
