my understanding is that if there was significant absorption, and if the
model scattering is uncorrected for f' - which is in-phase with normal
scattering f for that atom - Fc will overestimate Fo, thus, Fo-Fc will be
negative.
the f'' component will be -(pi/2) out of phase with the normal f, and -
here is what i don't get - shift the F so its out of phase. but i don't
intutitvely understand how that affects the Fo-Fc map.
