LookingAtNothing On Tour!
Through a combination of events (and Twitter), my visit to the Diamond Synchrotron has become the nucleation site for a whole host of talks throughout […]
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 […]
Introspection
I’ve been working on a lot of things of late, but none are yet in a state to show here yet. However, when talking to […]
Does it matter part 4.2: The actual flatfield
Last week, I talked about how to determine whether a flatfield correction was necessary. Data from a Bruker Hi-Star detector was shown to have very […]
Does it matter part 4: flatfield correction on a Bruker HiStar wire detector
See the previous posts in this series here: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 Very recently, Bruker upgraded their SAXS instrument in our building. […]
Fancy background subtraction: an initial look
As indicated last week, some spare time has been spent trying to re-derive a correction for separating sample container scattering from the sample itself. Normally, […]
Cutting-room clippings
For today’s post, I had a few things planned, but haven’t been able to work anything out yet. So I’ll talk a little about these […]
Data correction and reduction code functional
Before I get started, let me just highlight the new small-angle scattering issue of J. Appl. Cryst. which has come out a few days ago. […]
Speaking of errors: estimating uncertainties in integrated data (corrigendum to “Everything SAXS”)
I feel I need to make a public apology: it turns out that I have been inaccurate in some of my recent papers on the […]
Trouble in Paradise? Internal diffraction in PILATUS-like detectors
A great many of the data correction issues in small-angle scattering can be resolved by trading a kidney for a PILATUS detector [1] (or similar […]
