Figure 2.

(a) Based on a scans dark-field map, two subsets of pixels are defined, those with scattering from the cell (hatched in red) and the surrounding ones (hatched in black). (b) The diffraction pattern of these subsets are averaged separately for the (left) cell and (right) background region. (c) Azimuthal averaging yields (red and black) two curves I(q_r) for the subsets. The cell signal is corrected for background effects by subtraction of the background signal. The resulting blue curve can be fitted with a power-law function, thus characterizing the curve with a single exponent. To see this figure in color, go online.
