MXPrism

Homepage

You can access MXPrism via the link: mx-prism.mx3.beamline.synchrotron.org.au

Once you log in, you should see the homepage as depicted below.

There are three tabs for navigation:

My Experiments: Here you can view previously collected results, sorted my project, link to your current experiments results, upload sample data, and complete shipping information

My Projects: Here you can create and edit projects

My Labs: For lab membership management

Here you will see the lab/labs you are a member of. Lab owners can add members and give them admin rights.

Lab Admins can add and remove lab members, and give other members admin rights. To add a lab member you need to click the “Add Member” button and enter their email address into the search bar. Only registered Australian Synchrotron users can be added to a lab.

There is only one lab owner, and lab admins cannot remove the lab owner.

If you are not an admin or owner, you will only be able to see lab members, you will not be able to modify them.

My Projects

All samples that you collect on MX3 must belong to a project. A project can have samples from multiple pucks, from multiple dewars across multiple visits. You can also have sub-projects within each project folder.

To add a project, click “Add Project”. This will bring up Project details to fill in for your new project. The only essential fields are the type of project - PX (protein) or CX (chemical), and the name.

Once you have at least one project, you can add child projects to create a nested tree of projects.

You can edit, move and delete projects from this interface

Important things to note: All your projects will be visible to everyone in your lab. Any changes you make will also affect everyone else in your lab.

My Experiments - Experiment Results

Samples must be uploaded in MXPrism in order for the robot to be able to mount your samples.

My Experiments - Current Experiment

The live tab gives you information and statistics for each data collection. Datasets will be displayed from most recent to least recent, you can sift through these datasets by clicking on the corresponding page number.

The status of the data processing is presented on the right hand side.

Your processing statistics are presented in the left panel.

Hovering over the ⓘ button will give you additional information about the data.

Clicking on the H5WEB button allows you to look at the raw frames of the collection.

The graph on the right gives information about the quality of your data (completeness, multiplicity, resolution).

When you click on H5WEB, you can view your frames interactively.

If you have weak diffraction, change the scale to SymLog, or try different scaling to best visualise your data. You can also adjust the contract with the slider.

You can change the colour scheme to your preferred colours.

At the bottom of the window, you can drag to slider to view frames from different parts of your data collection. Adjust the start and end points to change how many frames are slabbed together in the viewer.
