• n - Number density<br />

(concentration)<br />

• V - PParticle ti l volume l<br />

(molecular mass)<br />

• Δρ2 - Contrast = square <strong>of</strong><br />

scattering length density<br />

diff difference bbetween t particle ti l <strong>and</strong> d<br />

medium<br />

– x-rays: electron density<br />

– <strong>neutrons</strong>: isotope labeling,<br />

particularly H > D<br />

• P( P(q) ) - Si Size & shape h<br />

• S(q) - Interaction<br />

Measure <strong>and</strong> subtract background very carefully!<br />

Do the absolute calibration – it’s worth the effort!
