The Diamond Light Source Macromolecular Crystallography group would like to invite both our academic and industrial users to MX beamline training sessions on the 25th and 26th June 2025.

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 sessions on the suite of MX beamlines, to include recent developments on beamlines and facilities as well as software sessions for data analysis.

The on-site MX training is targeted at all levels of user experience. It is essential that each BAG sends at least one representative per calendar year.
