1 Pattersons The “third space” of crystallography

2 The “phase problem”

3 PhasesPhases Amplitudes

4 The “phase problem” PhasesPhases Amplitudes

5 The “spaces” of crystallography Direct/real space –Distances are in Å, Angles are in degrees Reciprocal space –Distances in 1/Å, Angles are different Patterson space –Distances are in Å, Angles are in degrees –Relative distances only, origin lost –“direction” is preserved
