15. The camera was operated in binning mode, with a binning factor of 2, in order to match the effective pixel size to the spatial resolution in our imaging geometry and to speed up the measurements.
16. We calculated δth (E) from the tabulated data by L. Kissel for elastic photon-atom scattering, anomalous scattering factors as given by the file f1f2-asf-Kissel.dat of the DABAX library. See http://ftp.esrf.eu/pub/ scisoft/xop2.3/DabaxFiles/.
