Resolution function of a two-dimensional scattering detector

This example illustrates the effect of detector resolution.

The left image shows scattering from a dilute assembly of large, oriented boxes recorded by a perfect detector without resolution function.

In the middle image, for the purpose of demonstration, a broad and very anisotropic Gaussian resolution function is applied.

In the right image, the resolution is isotropic.
