Maurice Wilkins by James Watson. During the second phase, 1951–52, Wilkins produced clear "B form" "X" shaped images from squid sperm, images he sent to James Watson and Francis Crick, causing Watson to write "Wilkins... has obtained extremely excellent X-ray diffraction photographs" [of DNA]. In 1953 Wilkins' colleague Rosalind Franklin instructed Raymond Gosling to hand over to Wilkins a high quality image of "B" form DNA ("Photo 51"), which she had made in 1952 but had “put it aside” as she was leaving King's College London. Wilkins showed it to Watson. This image, along with the knowledge that Linus Pauling had proposed
X-ray crystallography polymethylcyanoacrylaon of Boin crystal parameters. Heating or burning of bones causes recognizeable changes in the bone mineral that can be detected using X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. During the first 15 minutes of heating at 500 °C or above, the bone crstals began to change. At higher temperatures, thickness and shape of crystals of bones appear stabilized, but when the samples were heated at lower temperature or for shorter period, XRD traces showed extreme changes in crystal parameters. X-ray diffraction has been demonstrated as a method for investigating the complex structure of integrated circuits. X-ray crystallography X-ray crystallography is a technique
