Like Rosalind Franklin, these scientists secure such images using X-ray diffraction techniques, which enable them to study the arrangement of atoms in crystals or crystal-like structures by ...
Description: Electron diffraction patterns for single crystal and polycrystalline materials are displayed on a CRT screen. A Welch model 2639 'Electron Diffraction tube' is used in an experiment in ...
Using X-ray pulses to illuminate nanoparticles, researchers decode diffraction patterns to construct detailed three-dimensional images. (Illustration: ETH Zürich / Daniela Rupp) In a 2D-XRD experiment ...
