INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND TESTING OF LARGE-AREA DETECTORS FOR MACROMOLECUL

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。作为大分子晶体学中一个重要的后续研究项目，对束流线上的大面积探测器进行了不断的测试和优化。今年，在BL9-2上安装了新的MAR325 CCD探测器并进行了测试，并在该探测器和现有的Quantum-315 CCD探测器上进行了广泛的测试，包括数据集的测量和分析，以比较它们的性能。MAR325完成了Quantum-315 CCD探测器的工作。因此，MAR325探测器已永久安装在BL9-2上。此后，在BL1-5上安装并测试了Quantum-315 CCD探测器，以取代较小和较旧的Quantum-4探测器，从而大大增强了该光束的数据采集能力

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. As one of the most important continuing projects in macromolecular crystallography, the large-area detectors on the beam lines are continuously tested and optimized to the beam line performance. This year, new MAR325 CCD detector was installed and tested on BL9-2, and extensive tests, including the measurement and analysis of data sets, were performed on this detector and on the existing Quantum-315 CCD detector to compare their performance. Superb Mb data sets were collected and the MAR325 out performed the Quantum-315 CCD detector. The MAR325 detector has accordingly been permanently installed on BL9-2. The Quantum-315 CCD detector was thereafter installed and tested on BL1-5 replacing a smaller and older Quantum-4 detector, thereby providing a significant enhancement to the data acquisition capabilities for this beam
