Hi Tim,
...but I hope this answers the question:
Babinet's vs. the flat model? Use them together! ;)
thanks a lot for your reply.
Could you please explain the *****physical***** meaning of using both models
together? Flat (mask-based) bulk solvent model has clear physical meaning
and its advantages over the Babinet model, as explained in emails before and
in numerous publications. Babinet model has its pros and cons, as also was
already pointed out. So, for now the choice for bulk-solvent model to use is
pretty clear. Of course different ("better" or not - is a separate question)
models can be proposed (I'm aware of your recent publication) but this is
beyond the scope of this discussion.
What I DO NOT understand is what is the physical sense behind using both
models together. This is something I'm completely failing to understand, so
an explanation starting from "for dummies" level to expert one would be much
appreciated. (Sorry for prompting this Saturday morning -:) )
Probably I'm too stubborn when it comes down to this kind of question since
I'm thinking of crystallographic model refinement in this way:

Anyways, thanks for discussion, and have a great week-end!
All the best!
Pavel.
