SingleCrystal can simulate electron diffraction patterns and display "missing" phase information, here colour coded from red (0 degrees) to cyan (180 degrees). 20 October 2003 CrystalMaker Software is developing a brand new program for single-crystal diffraction, and you are invited to take part in its development! SingleCrystal works with CrystalMaker, reading from saved crystal files to simulate and display electron diffraction patterns on screen. You can open a crystal file in SingleCrystal, or use CrystalMaker's Transform > Diffraction Pattern > Single-Crystal command to obtain a single-crystal diffraction pattern for any displayed crystal structure. As well as simulating electron diffraction patterns, you can also visualize entire sections of reciprocal space, with the option of lattice or weighted-lattice display. SingleCrystal lets you display Miller Indices, measure distances and angles between reflexions - and even display the phases of reflexions, using colour-coded spots! You can rotate your crystal in real time, by clicking-and-dragging the mouse, clicking toolbar "tilt" controls, or using the keyboard. Precise tilts can be entered, or specific view directions specified. Other controls allow you to change the scale (camera constant), saturation, sample thickness, wavelength and other diffraction controls. We are keen to receive suggestions and comments about this new program. We are therefore providing a free, time-limited, public beta version (expires 20 November 2003). This lets you work with CrystalMaker binary files, measuring and manipulating their reciprocal lattices and electron diffraction patterns, and printing high-resolution images. SingleCrystal requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Download the Public Beta © 2008 CrystalMaker Software Limited. All rights reserved worldwide.
