X-ray Toolkit

The X-ray Toolkit groups SAXSShell's small estimate windows under one Tools menu section:

  • Open Volume Fraction Estimate
  • Open Number Density Estimate
  • Open Attenuation Estimate
  • Open Fluorescence Estimate

Open these utilities from Tools > X-ray Toolkit in the main SAXS UI.

What this section is for

These tools are lightweight helpers for quick calculations that support project setup, experiment planning, or interpretation of solution conditions. They are useful when you need a fast estimate without launching a larger project-backed workflow.

Current scope

Unlike project-backed tools such as PDF Calculation, 1D Born Approximation (Average), 3D FFT Born Approximation, or Debye-Waller Analysis, the X-ray Toolkit windows are intended as focused calculators rather than long-lived saved analysis workspaces.
