Dear Morpholino,

I think 10 microns or under is a reasonable way to define a micro focus beam line. There is a list of all MX beamlines at the following web site:

http://biosync.rcsb.org/index.jsp

This gives details of each beam line, including beam size, but you would have to go through them all to find the actual number. Also I’m not totally sure how often this is updated.

Best wishes,

Andrew

That's a good point...
I was thinking that a decent crystal has a size in the hundreds of micrometers (say 100 in a, b and c). So, with such a specimen we can use any MX beamline.
But if the crystal is smaller (say 10 micrometers in a, b and c) You must use a microfocus beamline.
*Please correct me if I am wrong.*
So what are the number of MX beamlines that can get useful data from smaller crystals (as defined above)?....

Thanks again

I would like to know how many MX beamlines are micro focus?


Thanks.
