Fine and Wide Slicing — Preserve the three-dimensional information of the reflection
Reflections have a three-dimensional shape and an intensity profile. Typically, APEX2 acquires images in fine slicing mode. This mode best preserves the three-dimensional information of the reflection, which makes the software best for integration of even weak reflection intensities.
Fine Slicing — When Every Reflection Counts
- 3D spot profiles and intensities are accurately extracted
- 2theta-dependent profiles from strong reflections are “learnt”
- “Learnt profiles” are fit to weak reflections using least-squares methods
- More accurate bonding geometry with smaller standard deviations
Wide Slicing — Systematically-Poor Data
- Spot shapes are reduced to only a 2D projection
- Data collected with wide frames lacks 3D information
- Challenging samples with twinned or split profiles provide systematically-poor data
