-
And that's his diffraction picture.
-
That's what you'd see on that--
-
remember there was that round CCD plate that's on this new machine?
-
You might get a pattern that looked sort of like that.
-
That was copper sulfate in 1912.
-
But the real breakthrough by was William Lawrence Bragg,
-
who was 22 years old.
-
He had just graduated from Cambridge University
-
when he determined the structure of a crystal
-
using Laue's x-ray diffraction pattern.
-
So he figured out how to go the other way,
-
to go from the x-ray's scattered pattern
