It was glorious with diffraction patterns, like a membrane of oil on water.
Producing an image from a diffraction pattern requires sophisticated mathematics.
The diffraction pattern caused by the left hand slits will be in the form of an 'X'.
It produced a diffraction pattern instead of an image.
You only have to look at the diffraction pattern shown to see a nice 10-fold symmetry axis.
The diffraction pattern given by a circular aperture is shown in the figure on the right.
These specific directions appear as spots on the diffraction pattern called reflections.
The road from diffraction patterns to structure is long and arduous.
The resulting diffraction pattern is unique to the structure of the crystal.
Three ideas developed that enabled the reconstruction of real space images from diffraction patterns.
