This is easy - a crystal not diffracting in the loop provides a datum -
that crystal or object does not diffract. No crystal in the loop
provides no information on the system you are studying beyond the skill
of the person fishing.

Dear Leo,
I would argue that not getting diffraction would indicate that the sample under
study is not a crystal ;-)
That way the two scenarios are the same - in neither case do you have a crystal
in the loop
All the best Graeme

Dear all
I had one interesting comment today at the beamline, that I would like to share
with you for your advice on how to answer this...
Is it better to have no diffraction from a crystal you shoot, or to have no
crystal in the loop?
Hum, difficult one...
Cheers, leo
