Item 3: Tips and Tricks

This section is always open for contributions. Click for Introduction and tips and tricks in Crystallization, Derivatization, Diffraction, Symmetry, Structure Solution, Structure Refinement, and Structure Analysis.

Item 4: Topic Discussion

HKL2000 has a built-in feature (Reprocess) to reintegrate raw date (frames) with unit cell parameters fixed at the values obtained after postrefinement using Scalepack. Any comments, experience, or recommendations?
