Virtual powder diffraction data (see §2.5.3) from many lysozyme nanocrystals in (a) the `raw' non-interpolated layout of detector data and (b) the `assembled' layout. Assembling a physically correct image requires interpolation of the raw data onto a regular pixel grid and results in irregular locations of individual module boundaries, due to the moveable central hole and mechanical tolerances in the placement of individual modules. The gaps between detector modules need to be accounted for in the analysis, and module geometry may be refined during subsequent analysis. For these reasons data analysis is performed in raw layout whenever possible. |
