Overview

ADVISOR is a python-based desktop GUI toolkit for scattering and diffraction experiments. It visualizes the scattering geometry, momentum transfer in reciprocal space, and more. Currently it is tailored for X-ray scattering and X-ray diffraction experiments.

What it does

Visualize scattering geometry and crystal structure.
Convert scattering angles to momentum transfer in reciprocal space and vice versa.
Calculate and visualize structure factors for diffraction experiments.

Graphical user interface

The following video shows a demostration of the application, giving an overview of the functionality and user experience.
