Figure 12
A geometrical construction illustrating the reciprocal-lattice region accessible for a crystal enclosed in the DAC. Two windows of the DAC and its axis (dash-and-dot line) are superimposed with four reciprocal-lattice Ewald spheres corresponding to four limiting positions of beams entering the DAC along four window edges (along the upper-left edge: purple circle; along bottom-left edge: green; along upper-right edge: red; and along bottom-right edge: blue; the centres of the circles are marked with rectangles in the corresponding colours representing the crystal positions). The yellow area marks the accessible area of the reciprocal lattice – the accessible region in three dimensions is a torus obtained by rotating this area about the DAC axis. A DAC windows opening of 70° and molybdenum wavelength have been depicted to scale in this construction; the dotted circles correspond to the resolution of 0.80 Å (larger) and 0.94 Å (smaller).
