System Use

Two systems have been developed for the simultaneous recording of the SAXS and the WAXS patterns from carbon fibre and elastomer samples which are placed under stress. The systems have been designed to fit inside the versatile vacuum diffractometer (BIGDIFF) at the Photon Factory. In one system, use is made of the ability to move the imaging-plate cassette. In the other, use has been made of an imaging-plate changer which can deliver up to 13 plates into position with a duty cycle of about 60 s. In this case each imaging plate can record SAXS/WAXS patterns in the range 0.5–20° due to the passage of the beam through the specimen which is mounted in a specially designed tensometer. Because BIGDIFF is a vacuum diffractometer and parasitic scattering is small, exposure times as short as 2 s can give acceptable SAXS/WAXS patterns. The systems have been used for the study of both the change of structure with strain, and the relaxation processes which occur as a result of the sample being strained at a fixed rate by a predetermined amount.

Exposure Method

AbstractFor determination of stress in a localized area, we combined a modified single exposure technique and the imaging plate, which is an x-ray digital area detector. With the, single exposure method, stress value is obtained from lattice strains in two directions with a single incident x-ray beam directed at an oblique angle. However, since diffraction data around a whole Debye-Scherrer ring was used in this study, a stress value can be accurately determined in comparison with the single exposure method. We observed the DS ring by use of the imaging plate with requiring only a short exposure time. Lattice strains in many directions on a DS ring were measured by an image analyzer connected to a computer; we verified the effectiveness of this method.

Diffraction Patterns

Small-angle X-ray diffraction patterns from the anterior byssus retractor muscles of Mytilus edulis contracting tonically in response to stimulation with acetylcholine were recorded in a 30 s exposure with synchrotron radiation and a high-sensitivity X-ray area detector called an imaging plate. The 190 Å layer line from the thin filaments increased in intensity with increase in tonic tension up to 6 x 104 kg m−2. Above this value, the layer-line intensity remained almost constant and comparable to that for a contracting skeletal muscle, indicating that the same structural changes of the thin filaments occur in both muscles.

Ray Scattering

The traditional medium for collecting two-dimensional x-ray scattering patterns is photographic film. While x-ray film has excellent resolution, several factors make it a poor choice as a detection device: slow speed, limited dynamic range, the “human factor” (developing, fixing, film handling), and the lack of a commercial scanning system designed for reading two-dimensional x-ray films. Until recently, there were no practical alternatives to the use of photographic film for obtaining two-dimensional x-ray scattering data using a conventional x-ray source. In the past few years, two different detection systems have become available for collecting high quality two-dimensional x-ray scattering data: (1) the Siemens (Xentronics) area detector system, which is a gas filled, wire grid detector, and (2) the Fuji imaging-plate system, which utilizes a phosphor storage plate for imaging the x-ray scattering and a laser scanner to process the image.
