Effect of the instrument-resolution function. Scattering intensity, I, as a function of the magnitude of the scattering vector, q, from our simple cubic crystal (a = 3.5 nm and 10 × 10 × 10 subunits), with spheres of radius 1.5 nm as subunits, to which a Gaussian resolution function was added with four different standard deviation values: σr = 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and 0.1 nm−1. As σr grows, the peaks start to merge and the extrema become less localized. |
