Distribution of the scattering signal from the LB along q. Since each darkfield map can be approximated by a weighted sum of the three eigenimages corresponding to almost 99% variation in the dataset, the distribution of these components along q is shown in (A). Positions of the darkfield maps shown in Fig. 9(E) are marked with black arrows. The eigenimage representing the LB (eigenimage 3) was thresholded and the scattering data from all scan points with a total scattering intensity greater than the specified threshold was averaged and azimuthally averaged. Similarly, a background region was manually chosen and the scattering data was averaged, azimuthally integrated and subtracted from the LB scattering. The background-subtracted one-dimensional intensity is shown in (B), clearly representing the q-distribution for eigenimage 3. The distribution is similar to the q-distribution of scattering from a cell by a control patient (CO1).
