I was thinking that there must be people who have used both the systems. But, i see that its nearly impossible to find. Oxford system people have agreed to take our crystals by cryo-shipper and try them out in their machine. sincerely sankar Ross Angel wrote: > Sankar > > We had an Oxford Diffraction PX system, with the same goniometer and > detector as the Nova, for 3 years until last Fall when we upgraded to > the Nova.
