Just sending along the answers to my question about the imosflm crystal missets and mosaicity plot from Ethan Meritt and Harry Powell.
>Value of the parameter as a function of diffraction image number. If the parameter didn't vary, it would show as a horizontal line. phi(x), etc are the crystal orientation angles. mosaicity is self-named. Ethan Hi Hari phi(x) phi(y) and phi(z) are the crystal missetting angles - how much the apparent orientation differs from the calculated one from indexing. Historically, with crystals mounted in capillaries, the crystal would often really slide about, but these days (with cryocooled crystals held rigidly in loops) they account for things like the rotation axis not ebing perpendicular to the X-ray beam. "Mosaic" should be self explanatory... - Show quoted text - > - Show quoted text - > <Screen shot 2010-03-17 at 5.10.49 PMMar 17, 2010.png> > Harry -- Dr Harry Powell, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, MRC Centre, Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 0QH -- Ethan A Merritt Biomolecular Structure Center University of Washington, Seattle 98195-7742 On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 5:17 PM, hari jayaram <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello , > > I had a question about the imosflm plots during data integration. > > I am attaching the plot for one of my datasets ...Just curious what the > middle plot is plotting > > > Thanks a lot for your help > > Hari > > > >
