Good (?) afternoon, I can't resist quoting the facetious answer, once given to me in a similar situation by the dear departed Felix Frolow: '*proteins are bastards*'. Well to be exact he used a much less socially acceptable term, and he said it in Russian - but the point is that sometimes (most of

Dear Veronica, with 1st, 2nd, 3rd map you mean the density for the same dataset after three consecutive cycles of building-refining or three different maps from three different crystals? If it's the first case, it could be fine, it may mean that at each cycle you improve the map so you see signal
