Hi Tim I would say that it's not the displayed map density value in whatever units that's arbitrary: it's completely defined as the true density on an absolute scale minus the F000 contribution ('b' below) and optionally divided by the RMS. It's just that we don't have a good estimate of F000

Hi Tim F000 is customarily not included in MX electron density for the reason you mention. This doesn't matter because the contour levels are completely arbitrary anyway, i.e. you choose a level that shows the features you expect to see. This can be misleading of course since there may be

Hi, first maps are produced by Refmac, not Coot, and second it shouldn't be called sigma because it's not an uncertainty, it's a root-mean-square deviation from the mean. The equation for the RMSD can be found in any basic text on statistics, e.g. just type 'RMSD' in Wikipedia. Cheers -- Ian
