New 2D SAXS movie
I have a new movie made, which may be a bit more suited for those of you working with isotropic samples. Instead of a bundle […]
Quick update
Hi all, I am not abandoning you, I am merely in the middle of a string of four experiments divided over three beamtimes in an […]
Alternative Ellipsoid Form Factor Function
Just a quick heads up before I start on the ellipsoid form factor alternative: I spoke last post of the efforts for data archiving for […]
Archival/universal file format
At the 3-way meeting last week, there was some discussion into general file formats for beamlines. The argument for them is that when beamlines and […]
Bayesian Inverse Fourier Transforms
Although I cannot say I completely grasp the underlying theory, the Bayesian approach to the Inverse Fourier Transformation of (isotropic) small-angle scattering patterns certainly appeals […]
Particle size distribution: review of “Small-Angle X-ray and Neutron Scattering of Polydisperse Systems: Determination of the Scattering-Particle-Size Distribution”
The determination of the particle size distribution from small-angle scattering curves is usually achieved by assuming a certain statistical size distribution model (f.ex. a Schultz […]
TED is coming to Europe this summer!
Good news for all of you keeping up with current affairs in the worlds of Technology, Entertainment and Design: There is a TED conference coming […]
The bessel function approximation, compiled
With the help of Michael Croucher of the walkingrandomly weblog, who graciously spent some time optimising one of the slowest components of the Matlab code, […]
Speeding up the Bessel function
The Bessel function is used in a few scattering functions, for example in that of a cylinder. The implementation of the Bessel function in Matlab […]
A successful 2010 to all of you!
During the past few months I have defended my thesis successfully and I have started work as a post-doc at Aarhus University working on SAXS […]
