Figure 3

Anisotropy analysis. (a) Representative 2D SAXS scattering pattern from the longitudinal bovine specimen. (b) Integrated (360°) SANS (∆) and SAXS (o) data with the q-ranges used for azimuthal integration indicated in grey. The SAXS data was offset to overlap with the SANS data at low q. (c) Azimuthal plot for SANS (∆, left axis) and SAXS (o, right axis). (d) 2D SAXS scattering patterns with overlays in red indicating the q-range used for the azimuthal plot in c. (e) q-range dependent order parameter (S), for longitudinal and radial specimens, shown as mean (thick horizontal lines) of SANS (blue) and SAXS (red) measurements, standard deviation (bar), and value per measurement position for bovine (∆), porcine (o), and ovine (*). The figure was created using Matlab (R2019a).
