Dear Niu,
It depends on which part of processing you are referring to,
i.e. the indexing step or the integration step. In MOSFLM there is no way to
enforce cell dimensions during indexing, but providing there is an indexing
solution that has cell dimensions close to the ones you want, you can enforce a
(slightly) different set of cell dimensions during the integration step.
Normally other refined parameters will ensure that you still get a good
prediction of spot positions.
I suspect that this can be done in other programs too.
Without knowing why you want to do this, I cannot comment on whether this is
the best procedure to follow.
Best wishes,
Andrew
