Indirect Fourier Transformation (IFT) • (see Glatter, J. Appl. Cryst. (1980) 13, 7-11. Determination of particle-size distribution functions from small-angle scattering data by means of the indirect transformation method) • Particles of identical shape, different sizes • (hR) = normalized scattered intensity from single particle, size R • Dn(R) = particle size distribution fcn • m(R) = integral of xs scatteringlength density particle • of size R • Infinite dilution, random orientation
