X-ray Crystallography

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
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...

$X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples$ 01:10

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
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...

X-ray Imaging

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Background:

X-ray imaging generates 2D patterns often affected by noise.
Noise reduction is crucial for accurate analysis of X-ray data.
Existing denoising methods may struggle with specific noise types like Poissonian noise.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a robust solution effective even with Poissonian noise.

Main Methods:

Utilized a generalized diffusion equation with gradient-dependent diffusion constant.
Employed numerical solutions for the diffusion equation.
Validated the method using experimental X-ray data with varying noise levels.

Main Results:

Demonstrated efficient reduction of pattern noise.

Successfully denoised patterns blurred by Poissonian noise.

Conclusions:

The proposed mathematical model offers an effective approach for denoising 2D X-ray patterns.
The method is robust and performs well on experimentally relevant noisy data.
Open-source MatLab code is available for the numerical method.
