Table 2. Summary of the parameters probed by combined scanning SAXS and X-ray holography, including the nuclear structures accessible by each of the analyses and the physical property probed by the respective method.
| Analysis approach | Nuclear structures accessed | Physical property probed |
|---|---|---|
| Dark field | Nucleoli, heterochromatin, euchromatin | Total scattering, Fourier components relevant for specific length scales |
| Power law exponent α | (Nucleoli) | Morphology |
| Porod constant K | Nucleoli, heterochromatin, euchromatin | Aggregation state, interface area |
| Phase shift | Nucleoli | Electron/mass density |
