Objective:
To provide a X-ray diffraction (XRD) new method to identify different of herbal drugs of Geranium.
Methods:
Analyse X-ray diffraction Fourier pattern of 1 plants of Geranium, 7 kinds substitute, and degree of different fingerprint patterns was calculated and analyzed according to the position (2 theta value) of peaks searched.
Results:
Obtain the different X-ray diffraction Fourier pattern of 1 kinds plants of Geranium and 7 kinds substitutes of Geranium.
Conclusion:
This method can be used for indentification on different medicinal material of Geranium.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
