Improvement of an automated protein crystal exchange system PAM for high-throughput data collection

A special liquid-nitrogen Dewar with double capacity for the sample-exchange robot has been created at AR-NE3A at the Photon Factory, allowing continuous fully automated data collection. In this work, this new system is described and the stability of its calibration is discussed.

Improvements toward highly accurate diffraction experiments at the macromolecular micro-crystallography beamline BL-17A

The BL-17A macromolecular crystallography beamline at the Photon Factory was updated to improve the accuracy of diffraction experiments conducted using tiny crystals.
