Manipulating reflection arrays using RLATT RLATT The reciprocal lattice viewer provides many tools to visualize and manipulate reflections arrays in reciprocal space This example will show how to remove spurious reflections from a diffraction pattern that is contaminated by small crystallites attached to the crystal investigated April 2, 2013 14
Reflection array in reciprocal space Random orientation of reflections from 24 scans from 2 runs 774 reflections By default the editing tool rotate is active Use click and drag to rotate the array April 2, 2013 15

Data collection strategies A successful structure determination requires acquisition of complete data to atomic resolution Adequate multiplicity is needed for meaningful scaling and absorption correction and improves the overall quality of the data April 2, 2013 32
Diffraction Geometry in 2D λ = 2d sin(θ) Source Ewald sphere X-ray detector Reciprocal lattice April 2, 2013 33
Detection area in 3D, square detector The detection area of a detector is the projection of the (square) detector onto the surface of the Ewald sphere April 2, 2013 34
Detection area in 3D, square detector The size of the detection area depends on the detector s size and its distance from the sample The position of detection area depends on the 2Θ swing angle of the detector April 2, 2013 35
Cusp area One single scan will miss the cusp and will not be sufficient to collect true multiplicity Changing the crystal s orientation using one axis and scanning using another axis will allow the acquisition of missing data and Provide redundant data April 2, 2013 36
