Dear Sayan So much has been said about this already. What struck me, in looking at the second of your images, is that there is almost certain to be spot overlap (to the left / centre of the image) and a chance that the correct unit cell may be larger than the indexing suggests. The lower beam divergence at a synchrotron, combined with fine sliced images, may tell a different story about the indexing. Regards Andy

The Oscillation range was 1.0 degree. Please find attached two diffraction images. With best regards, Sayan Saha.

This can be seen during the data processing, as the space >group (C2 or P222) varies even in the consecutive frames. spot overlap results in inaccurate intensity values. Inaccurate intensities result in high Rwork/Rfree. Why do the spots overlap? High mosaicity? Detector distance too small? Oscillation range too high (0.1° is typically adequate)? It would be good to see the data, otherwise we can only speculate. Space group does not change from one frame to the next. If you use XDS, a good guide to decide between higher and lower-symmetry space groups is to compare their ISa values. best, Kay > >2.
