Figure 2
Simulated PILATUS 6M images with varying resolutions. Some parameters underlying each image are summarized in Table 1[link]. For each sub-image, the beam center is in the upper left corner and the resolution (determined from the B factor) is indicated by a red dashed line. The sub-images represent one quadrant of a PILATUS 6M camera, downsampled to a 512 × 512 pixel array according to Section 2.2[link] (see also Fig. 4[link]). Note that resolution here is related to the B factor by the relationship shown in Fig. 1[link]. Hence, while the resolution sometimes appears intuitively as the point where the scattering drops off (for example in A, B, C, D, G, H, I, K and O), at other times the Bragg reflections extend to wider angles beyond the indicated resolution (E, J, L and N). This results from inaccuracy in the resolution-versus-B factor relationship (Fig. 1[link]). Rarely, resolution is obscured by large background (F) or is covered by the beam stop (M). These edge cases add noise to the model training. Color bars are shown in square-root-photon units.
