COMMENTS -- There is always a trade-off between flux-on-sample and instrumental resolution. -- High flux and low resolution condition is obtained for the high-Q instrument configuration. Low flux and high resolution condition is obtained for the low-Q instrument resolution. -- The variance of the Q resolution increases with Q. Scattering peaks broaden a lot at high-Q. Higher order peaks are hard to resolve.
