Figure Legend:
Main steps of x-ray diffraction analysis. (A) A high-angle x-ray scatter pattern recorded from the central human cornea. (B) Distribution of scatter intensity around the collagen intermolecular reflection. The total scatter can be divided into scatter from preferentially aligned collagen (clear area) and scatter from isotropically oriented collagen (shaded area). (C) Distribution of scatter intensity after the subtraction of isotropic scatter and a 90° phase shift. Introducing the phase shift effectively converts (B) into a plot of relative fibril number versus angle. (D) The plot in (C) with polar co-ordinates.
