Dear Chris, I'm prompted by your posting just to mention the Agilent Technologies PX Scanner 'Crystal Challenge' at: www.agilent.com/chem/crystalchallenge<http://www.agilent.com/chem/crystalchallenge> Thus, the only really useful assessment, or 'score', of objects (putative crystals) - or crystallisation conditions, is by the actual observed diffraction characteristics... and these preferably directly in situ, in the horizontal crystallisation plate, as achieved in the PX Scanner. Many Thanks and Best Regards, Marcus Winter (Agilent Technologies) [cid:[email protected]]<http://www.chem.agilent.com/en-US/Products/Instruments/X-raycrystallography/Pages/Crystalchallenge.aspx?cid=4710> From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Ulens Sent: 18 April 2011 08:24 To: [email protected] Subject: [ccp4bb] viewing and scoring crystallization drops on the iPad Our laboratory has been developing an application to view and score crystallization drops on the iPad. We would like to know if crystallographers see potential benefits from the functionality of the iPad to swipe and pinch through drops. We are looking for specific comments from Formulatrix users, but other users are also welcome to comment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LezurNhm0pA Specific ideas for future development are: - composition of crystallization buffers on a back-flip of the image drop - back-sync of crystallization scores on the iPad with the image database - emailing a drop image to colleague Thanks. -Chris --------------------------------------------------- Chris Ulens, Ph.D. Lab of Structural Neurobiology Department of Molecular Cell Biology Campus Gasthuisberg, ON1 Herestraat 49, PB 601 B-3000 Leuven Belgium http://www.xtal.be
