[ccp4bb] Diffraction image viewer with display of resolution circles

Dear CCP4 users, I'm looking for the diffraction image viewer, which will be able to display of resolution circles and export it to new image. I tried use idiffdisp, but after choose of the Show/clear resolution circles, there is no action. Images were collected using Rayonics MX-225 detector -

Hi Rafal, have you try ADXV ? I never try to use idiffdisplay, but i know that ADXV can display resolution circles. If your software is able to open the image, but can't show the circles. I think it's not really a problem with the image format, but with the information in the Header of

Hi Faisal, if your solvent channels are smaller than 40A in the largest dimension (most are) you can use a mesh loop to pick up the crystal and then wick away all of the mother liquor. You can then flash cool your crystal without having to transfer the crystal to another solution. Good luck,

The version of ADXV we have has some nice resolution ring features. There is a mode with the typical 5 rings of evenly spaced resolution. There is Anchor1 which draws a circle about the beam centre and through a selected point. There is Pick3 which constructs a circle from 3 selected points.

Matt, with this technique, how do you prevent crystal from drying up (other than doing it fast)? I know Thorne's group does this trick under oil. If you take no extra precautions, do you have an estimate of how often diffraction is destroyed by this? On the other hand, it's quite possible
