The Diamond Light Source Macromolecular Crystallography group would like to invite both our academic and industrial users to MX beamline training sessions on the 11th and 12th December 2019.

The aim is to provide MX users with sufficient training to be able to operate any of the Diamond MX beamlines efficiently and to get the most benefit from their beamtime. The training will involve hands-on sessions on the suite of five operational MX beamlines as well as optional offline software sessions.

Sessions include:

Welcome & Registration on 11th December, from 11 am to 11:30 am, followed by a welcome presentation and lunch.

  • MX software: automation in data analysis
  • MX software: DUI, CCP4, advanced DIALS

Application:

Application will close at midday on Monday 28th October 2019.

All applicants will be informed about the outcome of their application shortly after.
