  "term": "X-ray diffraction",
  "field": "Agriculture and food",
  "definition": "The scattering of x-rays by matter, especially crystals, with accompanying variation in intensity due to interference effects. Analysis of the crystal structure of materials is performed by passing x-rays through them and registering the diffraction image of the rays (crystallography, X-ray).",
