| Since 1912 chemists had known that a beam of x-rays directed towards a crystal is scattered when it strikes atoms, and the scattered radiation forms a pattern that can be recorded on film. To produce an image of what lies within a solid target, the new technique relies on complicated, computer-intensive manipulations of data in the form of fuzzy "shadowgraphs" produced by an array of detectors that record the scattered radiation emerging from the target. This technology provides significant performance advantages over film and fluorescent-screen-based systems, including higher detection efficiency, greater dynamic range, and superior rejection of scattered radiation. |
