Thanks for the interesting subject. It is really informing and very helpful
to improve instrumental resolution. P.S. Julian, ever tried additional SAXS
experiments changing several parameters to optimize your setup? Did you get
same data on Synchrotron or taking neutron diffraction patterns with th
Echo
reducing tube power just reducing intensity which reduces your peak height
together with the background level. It won't help on the peak to background
ratio.
What you need to improve is the beam path. WhenI was checking the low angle
beam path, I measured the stage/goniometer dimensio
Shay,
Can we assume you are working with a reflection mode instrument?
You have two primary sources of background - the primary beam hitting the
detector directly, and x-rays scattering from the air rather than the sample.
The first of these you control with the divergence slits, but really sho
Dear Rietvelders
I would like to avoid director saturation (we have a *LYNXEYE* detector)
when I work at low angles (lower then 10deg).
I thought it would be good to lower the current tube to reduce the current.
say to 35mA instead of 40mA.
Can you please comment on problems it should encounter?
