Diffraction Diagram

 

Fig.1 X-ray diffraction photograph obtained from the inner parts of the cell wall of Penicillus dumetosus. Cell axis vertical, X-ray beam almost normal to wall surfaces. The cell axis has been tilted to bring the 3.06 Å reflection on to the meridian. The specimen was maintained at 98% relative humidity during exposure.
