Geometries in pyFAI

This notebook demonstrates the different orientations of axes in the geometry used by pyFAI.

The tutorial uses the Jypyter notebook.

We will use a fake detector of 1000x1000 pixels of 100_µm each. The simulated beam has a wavelength of 0.1_nm and the calibrant chose is silver behenate which gives regularly spaced rings. The detector will originally be placed at 1_m from the sample.

In [3]:
wl = 1e-10
cal = get_calibrant("AgBh")
cal.wavelength=wl

detector = pyFAI.detectors.Detector(100e-6, 100e-6)
detector.max_shape=(1000,1000)

ai = AzimuthalIntegrator(dist=1, detector=detector, wavelength=wl)

Translation orthogonal to the beam: poni1 and poni2

We will now set the first dimension (vertical) offset to the center of the detector: 100e-6 * 1000 / 2

In [5]:
p1 = 100e-6 * 1000 / 2
print("poni1:", p1)
ai.poni1 = p1

Let’s do the same in the second dimensions: along the horizontal axis

In [6]:
p2 = 100e-6 * 1000 / 2
print("poni2:", p2)
ai.poni2 = p2
print(ai)

The image is now properly centered. Let’s investigate the sample-detector distance dimension.

For this we need to describe a detector which has a third dimension which will be offseted in the third dimension by half a meter.

In [7]:
#define 3 plots
fig, ax = subplots(1, 3, figsize=(12,4))

import copy
ref_10 = cal.fake_calibration_image(ai, W=1e-4)
jupyter.display(ref_10, label="dist=1.0m", ax=ax[1])

ai05 = copy.copy(ai)
ai05.dist = 0.5
ref_05 = cal.fake_calibration_image(ai05, W=1e-4)
jupyter.display(ref_05, label="dist=0.5m", ax=ax[0])

ai15 = copy.copy(ai)
ai15.dist = 1.5
ref_15 = cal.fake_calibration_image(ai15, W=1e-4)

We test now if the sensot of the detector is not located at Z=0 in the detector referential but any arbitrary value:

In [8]:

class ShiftedDetector(pyFAI.detectors.Detector):
    IS_FLAT = False  # this detector is flat
    IS_CONTIGUOUS = True  # No gaps: all pixels are adjacents, speeds-up calculation
    API_VERSION = "1.0"
    aliases = ["ShiftedDetector"]
    MAX_SHAPE=1000,1000
    def __init__(self, pixel1=100e-6, pixel2=100e-6, offset=0):
        pyFAI.detectors.Detector.__init__(self, pixel1=pixel1, pixel2=pixel2)
        self.d3_offset = offset
    def calc_cartesian_positions(self, d1=None, d2=None, center=True, use_cython=True):
        res = pyFAI.detectors.Detector.calc_cartesian_positions(self, d1=d1, d2=d2, center=center, use_cython=use_cython)
        return res[0], res[1], numpy.ones_like(res[1])*self.d3_offset

#This creates a detector offseted by half a meter !
shiftdet = ShiftedDetector(offset=0.5)
print(shiftdet)

This image is the same as the one with dist=1.5m The positive distance along the d3 direction is equivalent to increase the distance. d3 is in the same direction as the incoming beam.

After investigation of the three translations, we will now investigate the rotation along the different axes.

Investigation on the rotations:

Any rotations of the detector apply after the 3 translations (dist, poni1 and poni2)

The first axis is the vertical one and a rotation around it ellongates ellipses along the orthogonal axis:

In [10]:
rotation = +0.2
ai.rot1 = rotation
print(ai)
img = cal.fake_calibration_image(ai)
jupyter.display(img, label="rot1 = 0.2 rad")
Detector Detector        Spline= None    PixelSize= 1.000e-04, 1.000e-04 m
Wavelength= 1.000000e-10m
SampleDetDist= 1.000000e+00m    PONI= 5.000000e-02, 5.000000e-02m       rot1=0.200000  rot2= 0.000000  rot3= 0.000000 rad
DirectBeamDist= 1020.339mm      Center: x=-1527.100, y=500.000 pix      Tilt=11.459 deg  tiltPlanRotation= 180.000 deg

Out[10]:
<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f6fc502b8d0>

So a positive rot1 is equivalent to turning the detector to the right, around the sample position (where the observer is).

Let’s consider now the rotation along the horizontal axis, rot2:

In [11]:
rotation = +0.2
ai.rot1 = 0
ai.rot2 = rotation
print(ai)
img = cal.fake_calibration_image(ai)

jupyter.display(img, label="rot2 = 0.2 rad")
Detector Detector        Spline= None    PixelSize= 1.000e-04, 1.000e-04 m
Wavelength= 1.000000e-10m
SampleDetDist= 1.000000e+00m    PONI= 5.000000e-02, 5.000000e-02m       rot1=0.000000  rot2= 0.200000  rot3= 0.000000 rad
DirectBeamDist= 1020.339mm      Center: x=500.000, y=2527.100 pix       Tilt=11.459 deg  tiltPlanRotation= 90.000 deg

Out[11]:
<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f6fc4fe3eb8>
So a positive rot2 is equivalent to turning the detector to the down, around the sample position (where the observer is). Now we can combine the two first rotations and check for the effect of the third rotation.
In [12]:
rotation = +0.2
ai.rot1 = rotation
ai.rot2 = rotation
ai.rot3 = 0
print(ai)
img = cal.fake_calibration_image(ai)

jupyter.display(img, label="rot1 = rot2 = 0.2 rad")
Detector Detector        Spline= None    PixelSize= 1.000e-04, 1.000e-04 m
Wavelength= 1.000000e-10m
SampleDetDist= 1.000000e+00m    PONI= 5.000000e-02, 5.000000e-02m       rot1=0.200000  rot2= 0.200000  rot3= 0.000000 rad
DirectBeamDist= 1041.091mm      Center: x=-1527.100, y=2568.329 pix     Tilt=16.151 deg  tiltPlanRotation= 134.423 deg

In [13]:
rotation = +0.2
import copy
ai2 = copy.copy(ai)
ai2.rot1 = rotation
ai2.rot2 = rotation
ai2.rot3 = rotation
print(ai2)
img2 = cal.fake_calibration_image(ai2)


jupyter.display(img2, label="rot1 = rot2 = rot3 = 0.2 rad")
Detector Detector        Spline= None    PixelSize= 1.000e-04, 1.000e-04 m
Wavelength= 1.000000e-10m
SampleDetDist= 1.000000e+00m    PONI= 5.000000e-02, 5.000000e-02m       rot1=0.200000  rot2= 0.200000  rot3= 0.200000 rad

If one considers the rotation along the incident beam, there is no visible effect on the image as the image is invariant along this transformation.

To actually see the effect of this third rotation one needs to perform the azimuthal integration and display the result with properly labeled axes.

In [14]:
fig, ax = subplots(1,2,figsize=(10,5))

res1 = ai.integrate2d(img, 300, 360, unit="2th_deg")
jupyter.plot2d(res1, label="rot3 = 0 rad", ax=ax[0])

res2 = ai2.integrate2d(img2, 300, 360, unit="2th_deg")
jupyter.plot2d(res2, label="rot3 = 0.2 rad", ax=ax[1])
Data type cannot be displayed: application/javascript
Out[14]:
<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f6fc4f67cc0>

So the increasing rot3 creates more negative azimuthal angles: it is like rotating the detector clockwise around the incident beam.

Conclusion

All 3 translations and all 3 rotations can be summarized in the following figure:

PONI figure

It may appear strange to have (x_1, x_2, x_3) indirect indirect but this has been made in such a way chi, the azimuthal angle, is 0 along x_2 and 90_deg along x_1 (and not vice-versa).
