Hi Claire, Isn’t the simplest answer just that the EDS server is calculating the completeness for a different amount of data (high res limit of 1.92 Å), whereas in your Depositor data it was only calculated to a high res limit of 2.1 Å? This would probably be the result of you measuring

Instead of Br which has a weak signal at its K edge, why not use Iodide at some wavelength (or energy) where it gives a stronger signal? The longer wavelength used will help with spot spatial resolution as well. One may be fighting radiation damage, too. One may be fighting a moving (vibrating?)
