Hi folks
I’ve noticed that the Mosflm help line has recently received several messages
regarding problems processing Eiger 2 images with iMosflm (e.g. those collected
on IMCA-CAT)
Invariably, the users have been trying to use iMosflm/Mosflm 7.2.* series -
also inevitably, this will not work!
Support for Eiger 2 detectors was added in version 7.3.0; there were some
unanticipated (by us…) physical changes to the detector from the original Eiger
which meant that the 7.2.* code would not run correctly for the newer design.
This is fixed in 7.3.0.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, 7.3.0 is not yet included in the CCP4 updates,
so if you want to use iMosflm for processing Eiger 2 images (it works for both
HDF5 and CBF) you will need to download and install a standalone copy of
version 7.3.0 - available here:

As an aside, there are some subtle changes to the installed package in the CCP4
distro which mean that you can’t just swap in the new version.
