• Absorption edges below 6 keV correspond to x-ray wavelengths > 2A, which present practical difficulties for use in crystallography. A PostScript version of this chart is also available.
• Use the periodic table interface to retrieve tabulations of x-ray absorption edges and scattering coefficients for any element.
• Use the forms interface to generate plots of the anomalous scattering coefficients f' and f" for any set of elements.
