(a) Sections of four raw SAXS images obtained from a large grid scan across a bone sample. After various corrections have been applied to the raw images, each of them is mapped on azimuthal angle versus q cake plots. Then the integration over q yields (b) the four intensity versus azimuthal angle curves. The positions of the peak maxima in each curve reflect the intensity distribution in each of the raw datasets. The integration of all of these curves in the grid scan eventually leads to (c) a map that shows the degree of orientation of the scanned area of the sample. |
