Owing to the high dynamic range and resolution of image plates, digitization of the direct-beam profile as well as of two-dimensional small-angle X-ray scattering patterns gives data with enough accuracy to allow desmearing of two-dimensional patterns after corrections of geometrical distortions. A radial conversion of the images is used to compress the images and to isolate a small area of interest. The results obtained by the Wiener filtering method and the iterative method of Van Cittert on simulated patterns are compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
