Hello all, We utilize a Mar 345 image plate to collect x-ray diffraction rings from powder through a transmission configuration. It appears that the image plate generates a large background that increases as 2theta angles increase. Does anyone know of software or some type of procedure that I can use to subtract this background from my diffraction patterns. I currently use Fit2D to convert the 2-D rings to 1-D diffraction patterns. I would like to be able to subtract the background with minimal human intervention (preferably in a high throughput, computer controlled / automatic manner). Thank you.
