Resonant X-Ray Scattering of Biological Systems

Nearly all synchrotron radiation laboratories at high energy electron storage rings put enormous effort into the developement of resonant (anomalous) X-ray scattering techniques. So does the Hamburger Synchrotronstrahlungslabor (HASYLAB) at Hamburg. One of these intruments which is built in cooperation with the university of Mainz at the beam line A1 of the storage ring DORIS. How does the physics of resonant scattering enter into the design of the X-ray instrument.
