About

SUNBIM is a suite of integrated programs which, through a user friendly Graphical User Interface, is optimized to perform:
i. q-scale calibration and 2Dā†’1D folding on SAXS/GISAXS/WAXS/GIWAXS data, also including possible
eccentricity corrections for WAXS/GIWAXS data;
ii. background evaluation and subtraction, denoising and deconvolution of the primary beam angular divergence on SAXS/GISAXS profiles;
iii. indexing of 2D GISAXS frames and extraction of 1D GISAXS profiles along specific cuts;
iv. scanning microscopy in absorption and SAXS contrast: collection of transmission and SAXS data, in a mesh across mm2 area, organization of the as-collected data into a single composite image of the transmitted intensity values or 2D SAXS frames, analysis of the composed data to derive the absorption map and/or the spatial distribution and orientation of nano-scale structures over the scanned area.

SUNBIM is developed in MATLAB language and it is distributed through this web site. It is free of charge for academic, by accepting a license agreement during the software setup, as a stand-alone executable program for MS WINDOWS (a self-extracted executable setup file, 32 and 64 bit, is included at the distribution). The package uses MATLAB Compiler Runtime Library (free of charge and included in the distribution package).
