In a recent paper [Frielinghaus & Gommes (2025), J. Appl. Cryst. 58, 1553-1570] the appearance of coherent multiple scattering was discussed, whereby surface scattering takes over against the classical bulk scattering. This effect has been overlooked in the past and happens in a transition region between the classical bulk scattering that involves the first-order Born approximation and the quantum mechanical limit where the projected shadow of the structure is observed. This paper discusses a new example emerging from small-angle light scattering and describes it with surface scattering from the Teubner-Strey model that is also used to describe porous materials.
