-
And the spots weaken successively because of wire thickness,
-
as we just explained, as you go on out.
-
Now, that looks very much like
-
Rosalind Franklin's b-DNA photograph from 1952.
-
So we see the helix
-
and we see how angled the successive turns of the helix are,
-
what the pitch of the helix is,
-
and from the spacing of the dots we get how big the actual helix is.
-
But there's something funny.
-
The intensity doesn't just evenly decrease as you go out.
-
Instead of being strong, not quite as strong, less strong,
-
weaker, very weak, as you go out,
