X-ray Absorption Considerations

Proper X-ray energy and diameter of capillary need to be seleceted for elastic X-ray scattering characterization, to mitigate X-ray absorption. In some cases, sample dilution with glass/quartz might be necessary for characterizations.

Estimate the absorption of samples before sending samples for Synchrotron Source. X-ray Absorption Calculation
