McXtrace: SAXSLiposomes

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The SAXSLiposomes Component

A sample of polydisperse liposomes in solution (water).

Identification

  • Site:
  • Author: Martin Cramer Pedersen (mcpe@nbi.dk)
  • Origin: KU-Science
  • Date: May 2, 2012

Description

A component simulating the scattering from a box-shaped, thin solution (water)
of liposomes described by a pentuple-shell model.

Example: SAXSLiposomes( xwidth = 0.01, yheight = 0.01, zdepth = 0.01, SampleToDetectorDistance = 0.48, DetectorRadius = 0.1 )

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
