Description

In addition to the New User Symposium, the chemical crystallographers of the MX team will be running a free 1.5 day workshop. This will cover the basics of using the MX beamlines for collecting, processing, and publishing single crystal chemical crystallography data. We will also cover some of the new developments on the beamlines such as cold mounting, high pressure crystallography and photochemistry, and a hands on tutorial about the use of the CXASAP software suite. 

Please also register for the Australian Synchrotron New User's Symposium when registrations open (free and online).  

Cost: Free

Inclusions: Dinner, lunch, morning and afternoon tea. Free accommodation at the Synchrotron guesthouse is available for students from interstate or Geelong (see registration form).  

Travel: Maslen Scholarships for travel are available for SCANZ members. Please apply by emailing secretary@scanz.org for the application form. If you are not a member, think about joining! It only costs $30/3yrs for students and there are many benefits.  

In-person workshop places are limited to 30 people. 

Registrations close 18th Oct 2023 or when places are filled.

Workshop resources will be added to the website in the near future.
