Camera constant

Figure 3. The image (A) and the indiees of the spots on the selected area electron dififaction pattern of the [001] zone (B) ofS -ZrWi jMoo Og. (The rings in (B) are the gold reflections as internal standard. The camera constant is K=3.003mm nm).

Denote the d p- values with the indices in round brackets are calculated from the formula d =K/Rj, where K is a camera constant and R, is a distance (mm) between a spot and origin. The indices in round bracket were assigned the spot on SAED pattern according to the indexed results from powder XRD. 

We see, therefore, a direct relation between R and the reciprocal lattice vector g of the operating reflection, which is normal to the reflecting planes. (XL) is called the camera constant. 

To index an electron diffraction pattern, that is, to give each spot appropriate hkl values is straightforward when a value of the camera constant, XI is known. The distance from the centre of the pattern to the reflection in question is measured, to give a value of r, and this is converted into a value of d using... 

Response to Electric and Acoustic Fields. If the stabilization of a suspension is primarily due to electrostatic repulsion, measurement of the zeta potential, can detect whether there is adequate electrostatic repulsion to overcome polarizabiUty attraction. A common guideline is that the dispersion should be stable if > 30 mV. In electrophoresis the appHed electric field is held constant and particle velocity is monitored using a microscope and video camera. In the electrosonic ampHtude technique the electric field is pulsed, and the sudden motion of the charged particles relative to their counterion atmospheres generates an acoustic pulse which can be related to the charge on the particles and the concentration of ions in solution (18). 

The required exposure times are difficult to estimate. They are best found by trial and error. Documentation of fluorescence quenching at A = 254 nm usually only requires one trial. The exposure time found to be adequate here is normally suitable for all following exposures of fluorescence quenching if the exposure conditions are maintained constant (camera type, film type, distance of objective and lamp, aperture etc.). The exposure time required for fluorescent chromatograms is primarily dependent on the intensity of the fluorescence and, therefore, has to be optimized for each chromatogram. It is best to operate with a range of exposure times, e.g. aperture 8 with exposures of 15,30,60,120 and 240 seconds. Experience has shown that one exposure is always optimal. 

The Pyrex tube was suspended, with capillary down, in a small-holed rubber stopper which, in turn, was fastened to a goniometer head by a length of stout copper wire. The solid material within the capillary was photographed in a cold room (4°C.) using copper x-radiation, a camera with radius 5 cm., and oscillation range 30°. The effective camera radius was established by superimposing a powder spectrum of NaCl during an exposure of the sample the lattice constant for NaCl at 4°C. was taken to be 5.634 A. 

A fiber-diffraction pattern is recorded on a flat-film camera in which the fiber-to-photographic film distance is typically in the range of 3 to 4 cm. During exposure to X-rays, the specimen chamber is continuously flushed with a slow and steady stream of helium gas that has been bubbled through a saturated salt solution so that (a) the fiber is maintained at a constant desired r.h. and (b) fogging of the photographic film from air scattering is reduced. 

Liquid feed was fed by hydrostatic means gas feed was accomplished from a reservoir with the aid of a syringe pump [7]. The gas pressure was held nearly constant by passing a gas stream into a non-absorbing liquid. Analysis was performed both by visual means using a microscope and camera and by chemical analysis of the liquid output solution (Figure 5.33). 

The so-called Lupolen standard 25 is a well-known secondary standard in the field of SAXS. In conjunction with the Kratky camera it is easily used, because its slit-smeared intensity J(s) /V is constant over a fairly wide range, and this level is chosen as the calibration constant. In point-focus setups the SAXS of the Lupolen standard neither shows a constant intensity region, nor is the reported calibration constant of any use. 

A proper calibration constant for any beamline geometry is the invariant Q. Thus, the Lupolen standard or any other semicrystalline polymer that previously has been calibrated in the Kratky camera can be made a secondary standard for a point-focus setup, after its invariant Q has been computed in absolute units - based on a measurement of its SAXS in the Kratky camera. 

Zourob et al.22 constructed a flow-cell incorporating the MCLW and ITO electrode as shown in Fig. 15.25. Initial experiments were conducted after treating the surface with BSA overnight. BG bacterial spores were introduced to the sensor system at a constant flow rate of 200 pL min 1 in 50 mM histidine buffer, and the sensor system was operated in real-time scattering mode using a CCD camera. 

A special film holder allows transportation of the film with various rates. Time marks are printed automatically on the film for correlating the X-ray patterns to specific times and temperatures in the TMBA curves. The temperature program of the X-ray camera furnace is regulated by the thermobalance heating control system. Up to the maximum temperature of 1200 °C usual heating rates can be varied from 0.2 to 4 °C/min. The temperature of the impact plates can be held constant between room temperature and 450 °C and is recorded during the...
