Suggesting a standard data correction sequence.
Over the last few years, I’ve developed, discussed, adapted and tested a pipeline for the most convenient order of SAXS image data corrections. This is […]
Data storage standards: NXcanSAS accepted!
Small-angle scattering datasets do not adhere to any particular format. This point was painfully obvious during the round robin tests, where I had to write […]
Applying five estimators for uncertainty in Q
In order to get any sense of the uncertainty on our size determinations, we need to find out what the uncertainty of the q-vector is. […]
Basement toys: Laser engraver
Looking through the basements of the institute I work at is a favourite pastime of mine. This way, I have found many interesting things to […]
USAXS electronics
While I was under the assumption that we’d test the Bonse Hart USAXS instrument at the synchrotron first, scheduling issues there have dictated that we […]
Self-correlation: a unique measure of SAXS information content?
A funny point came up last week when we were trying to assess the Q-uncertainty inherent in our measurement. We were trying a method inspired […]
In brief: the highs and lows of spending money
You might remember that a while ago I asked for advice on whether to build or buy a base SAXS system for expansion. Almost all […]
USAXS progress report
Today, we are 70% done with 2016. Time flies, and some weeks it’s hard to notice any progress. The USAXS project, however, has been plodding […]
Part design workflow
This week, I want to talk a bit about the workflow I have in place for designing instrumentation parts. With the USAXS instrument nearly completely […]
Talks by colleagues in Berlin and ESRF
Today I’d like to announce two talks which are to take place next week: one by Dr. Heinrich Stuhrmann, which will be held here at […]
