Dear Colleagues, The information Graeme is requesting would be very helpful in making accurate NeXus/HDF5, minicbf, and full cbf beamline templates. We would be happy to host the beamline photographs on the HDRMX web site ( www.medsbio.org/hdrmx). These photographs would be even more useful if you added markings for all axes showing the direction of increasing translation for each translation axis and a curled arrow showing the direction of increasing rotation for each rotation axis.
Thank you.
