Overview
I03 is a highly automated beamline for macromolecular crystallography, supporting rapid data collection from protein crystals at cryogenic temperatures. It is optimised for high-throughput screening and for challenging targets such as membrane proteins. The I0...
Data collection
Diffraction from a crystal lattice obeys Bragg's law \(n\lambda = 2d\sin\theta\), where \(d\) is the lattice spacing. The accessible resolution depends on the X-ray wavelength and detector distance. Parameter Value (demo) Energy range 5–25 keV Beam size Variab...

Overview
I11 provides high-resolution and time-resolved powder diffraction for materials science, chemistry and pharmaceutical research. Long-duration experiments can run on the dedicated LDE facility. I11 diffractometer (demo image) Documents 📄 I11 Beamline User Guide...
Measuring d-spacings
Peak positions are converted to d-spacings using \(d = \frac{\lambda}{2\sin\theta}\). Multi-analyser crystal detectors give the very high angular resolution needed to separate overlapping peaks.

Overview
I22 combines small-angle (SAXS) and wide-angle (WAXS) X-ray scattering to study structure across length scales from nanometres to hundreds of nanometres, including polymers, colloids and biological tissue. I22 small-angle scattering camera (demo image)
The scattering vector
Scattering data are reported as a function of \(q = \frac{4\pi\sin\theta}{\lambda}\), which relates directly to real-space length scales via \(d = 2\pi / q\).
