Use this to get a quick idea of what camera length and x-ray wavelength is needed to access a particular length scale.

Using the four different camera lengths, this calculator allows the easy calculation of Q ranges. Qmin depends on the camera length and beam-stop size, while Qmax depends on the size of the area detector used.
