What Are the Limitations of Fraunhofer Diffraction Techniques?
Despite their advantages, there are some limitations:
- Sample Preparation: Proper sample preparation is crucial for accurate diffraction measurements, which can be time-consuming and require specialized expertise. - Interpretation of Results: Analyzing diffraction patterns requires a deep understanding of crystallography and material science. - Size Limitations: Fraunhofer diffraction is most effective for particles within a certain size range, typically in the micron to sub-micron range.
