All,


So I have two intense ice rings where there appear to be lattice spots in between them. 

I understand that any reflections that lie directly on the ice ring are useless, however, how do software programs (HKL2000, d*Trek, mosflm, XDS) deal with these intermediate spots? 

It would seem to me that employing a 'resolution cut off' just before the ice ring (on the low resolution side) would be improper, as there are spots on the high resolution side of the ice. (see enclosed .tiff)


In fact, how do these programs deal with spots lying on ice rings? Are they rejected by some algorithm by those programs during integration, or is it up to the scaling/merging (by SCALA for example) step to deal with them? 

Thanks!
