| Experiments | MONOCHROMATIC, FIBER |
| Experiments Details | Standard fixed wavelength macromolecular crystallography. Well suited for crystallography of viruses and protein crystals with large unit cells, as well as collection of ultra-high resolution data. On-line and off-line micro-spectrophotometry is available. Fiber diffraction is also supported. Supports work with biohazards at BSL-2 and BSL-3 levels. |
