Dear Colleagues,
The information Graeme is requesting would be very helpful in making
accurate NeXus/HDF5, minicbf, and full cbf beamline templates. We would be
happy to host the beamline photographs on the HDRMX web site (
www.medsbio.org/hdrmx). These photographs would be even more useful if you
added markings for all axes showing the direction of increasing translation
for each translation axis and a curled arrow showing the direction of
increasing rotation for each rotation axis.
Thank you.
Regards,
Herbert
