What and why?
There are several reasons to use rastering as part of your workflow:
You might not be able to see your crystal. This could be because of crystal size, feathery ice on the loop, etc.
If you do see it, your crystal might not be where you think it is. Both loop materials and reservoir solution will refract visible light.
Even if none of the above is the case, you still don’t know if every part of your crystal diffract as well.
Real vs. perceived crystal position.
Red is rendered without any refraction, while blue is where the sample would appear.

Interpreting results
Currently, looking directly at your diffraction data is the most robust method for assessment.
