Frontiers in Automated Crystal Handling and Visualization May 26-27, 2010
National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratorty We invite you to participate in a workshop on 'Frontiers in Automated Crystal Handling and Visualization' which we are organizing at Brookhaven National Laboratory, May 26 and 27, as part of the 2010 Joint NSLS and CFN Users' Meeting. A panel of distinguished speakers will discuss new methods in crystal handling, including crystal harvesting, discuss status and trends in automatic crystal screening, take stock of evolutions in remote participation, explore challenges in micro crystal visualization and handling, and review current experiences with automation at micro diffraction beam lines. A detailed agenda can be viewed at: http://www.nsls.bnl.gov/users/meeting/workshops/workshop.aspx?id=13 . These trends will influence the concepts for your new MX beam lines at NSLS-II (http://www.bnl.gov/nsls2/), the ultra-bright new light source now under construction at BNL. In fact, you may also be interested to help shape the beam line proposals by expressing your views in a MX planning group meeting that will take place immediately after the workshop in the afternoon of May 27. To register http://www.nsls.bnl.gov/users/meeting/page.aspx?id=home We are looking forward to seeing soon at BNL, Dieter Schneider ([email protected]), Alexei Soares ([email protected]), and Vivian Stojanoff ([email protected]) the organizers.
