In Laue experiments at the SRS Daresbury, Image Plates were used to determine the crystal structure of an olivine single-crystal, (Mg90Fe10)2SiO4. The exposure time was 50 ms. For the complete data set, five different φ settings were recorded within 20 min. This is the first time that Image Plates have been successfully used for crystal structure analysis of minerals or small crystals.
