Dear Tobias, There is also this one :- http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0021889801007245 In this study we had to use a smaller crystal than the largest ones available of 125mm3. They were a lovely rhombic dodecahedral crystal habit. Nb we only published details of the size of the one used. These crystals were grown by Joseph Gilboa at The Weizmann Institute, who we miss dearly. See the appreciation of Joseph by Felix Frolow and myself at http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0021889810006941 Yours sincerely, John
