I would just like to point out that for those of us who have worked too many times with P1 or P21 that even 360 degrees will not give you 'super' anomalous differences. I'm not a minimalist when it comes to data- redundancy is a good thing to have. cheers, tom

Someone told me there is a cubic space group where you can get away with something like 11 degrees of data. It would be interesting if that's correct. These minimum ranges for data collection rely on the crystal being pre-oriented, which is unheard-of these days, although they can help if someone is nagging you to get off the beam line or if your diffraction fades quickly. Going for 180 degrees always makes sense for a well-behaved crystal, or 360 degrees if you want super anomalous differences. Hope this helps a bit.

The only thing that matters to your crystal is dose. How many photons does your crystal take before it dies? Consequently, the question to ask is How best to use photons. Some people have done exactly that. https://doi.org/10.1107/S2059798319003528 All best. Andreas (*) Disclaimer: I benefit when you use PILATUS or EIGER - but I want you to use them to your advantage.

I have seen *somewhere* that to get a 'full dataset we need to collect n frames': at least 180 frames if symmetry is X at least 90 frames if symmetry is Y at least 45 frames if symmetry is Z Can somebody point where is *somewhere*? ...also... what other factors can change n... besides symmetry and radiation damage?
