footnotes =André Guinier was a French physicist who did important work in the field of
X-ray diffraction andsolid-state physics . He worked at theConservatoire National des Arts et Métiers , then taught at theUniversity of Paris and later at theUniversity of Paris-Sud inOrsay . He was elected to theFrench Academy of Sciences in 1971 and won theGregori Aminoff Prize in 1985.In the field of
small-angle scattering he discovered the relationship of particle size to intensity which is called Guinier's Law. He developed the Guinier camera for use in X-ray diffraction and contributed to the development of theelectron microprobe by Raymond Castaing.Publications
