Abstract

Crystallisation is an iterative process where conditions are optimised until diffraction quality crystals are obtained. At Diamond we have explored microfocus experiments and the feasibility of in situ diffraction experiments. This has highlighted the potential value of a microfocus beamline dedicated to automated in situ diffraction experiments. I will give an overview of the new VMXi beamline and an update on ongoing projects and science across the MX village at Diamond.
