Computer Facilities and Other Instrumentation

The X-ray Laboratory Computing Facility has several Linux/nix workstations and PCs running crystallographic software. All computers in the lab are integrated with the university computer network. The Cambridge Structural Database is accessible to all university computer system users and is hosted through a Sun server and available on all computer lab PCs.

The sample preparation laboratory is equipped with stereo microscopes for screening and photographing crystals. These microscopes are also used for crystal mounting for X-ray data collection. A fume hood, refrigerator and freezer for crystallization and sample storage, together with other necessary facilities for crystallization and crystal handling are available in the X-ray diffraction laboratory.
