-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Careina, the number of observed reflections is the number of reflections your integration software found on the images. If you compare this to the theoretically possible number of reflections (calculated from the cell and resolution limits), you come to the completeness of the dataset and the multiplicity of reflections, both of which are quality measures of the data set(s). Hence you should include the number in the outer resolution shell, too. Best, Tim On 02/14/2013 06:27 AM, Careina Edgooms wrote: > Dear ccp4 > > I apologise for the straightforward question.
