Best practices for high data-rate macromolecular crystallography (HDRMX)

In macromolecular crystallography, higher flux, smaller beams, and faster detectors open the door to experiments with very large numbers of very small samples that can reveal polymorphs and dynamics but require re-engineering of approaches to the clustering of images both at synchrotrons and XFELs (...
