The traveling salesman.
[Ed: Due to the impeding end of the hosting organization, there will be some changes in the place where this site is run. I’ll have […]
In need of good SAXS? You can now collaborate with us (like a mini-“large facility”)!
If you are in need of good small- or wide-angle X-ray scattering insights to further your projects, I am happy to say that we can […]
Accelerated learning and (MAUS) development through collaborations
[update 7th of September: intensity units on the graph have been corrected] Synchrotron staff have known for years, but collaborations really drive progress. Since first […]
SAXS and USAXS, and smearing in McSAS
We got some initial results of the sequential SAXS/USAXS experiments we did at Diamond*I22 earlier this year, measuring one of Zoë Schnepp‘s carbon catalysts. Unique […]
Throwing uncertainties into the bin
With our new machine, we now have overlapping datasets recorded over several Q-ranges. Ideally, we’d be merging or “binning” these datasets into a beautiful long […]
Handy sheet for calculating SAXS detection limits
When researchers ask if we can measure their samples, the usual, unsatisfying answer is: “It depends…”. That’s because the detectablity of their dispersed scatterers depends […]
Detectors for good SAXS
A few questions have come up via the blog asking what kind of detector would be helpful for getting good SAXS measurements. Having worked with […]
USAXS to extend your range
A while ago, I had the pleasure of enjoying the hospitality of the wonderful people at the i22 beamline at the Diamond Light Source in […]
Measurement workflow experiments: logbooks first
The trip to Diamond to test the USAXS instrument was a 7-day science bliss. Upon returning, however, stacks of work remained to be done. Moreover, […]
of USAXS at Diamond, PR-releases, and SAS2018
Just some short messages for today: I’ll be at Diamond (beamline I22) from the 2nd to the 10th of February, to play around with the […]
