The Diamond Light Source Macromolecular Crystallography group would like to invite both our academic and industrial users to MX beamline training sessions on the 12th and 13th July 2023.

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 MX beamlines, with particular focus on new beamlines such as VMXi, VMXm and recent developments on other beamlines and facilities as well as software sessions for data analysis.
