Figure 2
A comparison of two projections used to display diffracted intensity from a cubic diamond sample, with an incident wavelength of 1 nm. The leftmost diagram shows the scattering vectors in reciprocal space along with the viewing plane C–C in real space. The incoming beam lies on the x axis. The axis of symmetry is the z axis. (a) The diffraction pattern as projected onto a planar surface perpendicular to the incident beam, as a function of position on the surface (yfilm, zfilm) in arbitrary units. The scattering at Q is shown at point A. (b) Spherical projection, where the collection of scattered signal on a sphere is viewed in projection along the x axis. The scattering at Q is shown at point B. The projected pattern is displayed as a function of Qy and Qz, in units of m-1. More detail is visible here, as the pattern is compressed at its edges rather than stretched as in (a).
