Concepts

These pages explain the models behind the processing workflows. Indexing connects detector pixels to candidate crystal orientations. Wire-scan reconstruction connects a stack of frames to sample depths. Monochromatic image reduction assigns scattering-vector magnitudes to pixels and averages intensity over Q bins. Start with the overview for the workflow you are using, then read the algorithm pages when you need the equations, assumptions, or output definitions behind a stage.
