(a) In SAXS tensor tomography (Liebi et al., 2015) the full 3D reciprocal-space map in each voxel can be determined, from which we can retrieve the 3D nanostructure preferential orientation and degree of orientation, represented by cylinder orientation and colour, respectively. (b) The reconstruction was validated by sectioning the sample and measuring each slice under different sample rotations; the resulting series of 2D SAXS patterns for each voxel is used to determine the 3D orientation and degree of orientation via 3D sSAXS (Georgiadis et al., 2015). The colour bar shows the degree of orientation normalized with the maximal degree of orientation calculated by each method. |
