Crystal measurement
In order to publish CX data, you will need to provide the dimensions, shape and colour of your crystal in your cif.

Crystal measurement
On the crystal camera (which you see in the sample centering page) you can approximate the size of your crystal using the 100 um scale bar in the bottom right of the camera view.
Recording crystal size
Rather than writing the size of your crystal in your lab book (or forgetting to write it down at all), you can now enter the crystal size on the data collection screen, and this information will be added to your autoprocess.cif file in your data folder (see CIF file entries for more info).
