(a) Azimuthally averaged SAXS data of the empty cell (EC, black), a 1 mm-thick water layer (red) sandwiched between two mica windows (cell), the detector dark noise (green) and a sample of platelet-shaped tripalmitin nanocrystals (TP NCs) in water (blue) collected at SDD = 1613 mm. The 1D SAXS profiles of (b) platelet-shaped tripalmitin nanocrystals and (c) colloidal silica NPs (Ludox TM50; average size = 26 ± 2 nm) collected at different SDDs. Data were plotted and overlapped over different q ranges on an absolute scale. The insets are the corresponding 2D SAXS patterns. |
