Abstract
The form of the transmission factor for sample geometries encountered in X-ray and neutron fibre diffraction studies is considered. Transmis sion factors obtained by Monte Carlo experiments and a simple first-or der approximation are compared and agree to within 1% for studies of t he distribution of water and cations around DNA. The first-order appro ximation has the advantage of being simple and less computationally ex pensive.
