Mounting and alignment of the 3D-printed flow cell on a macromolecular crystallography beamline. (a) Flow cell mounted on the goniometer magnet and aligned with the X-ray beam at BioMAX. (b) LCP crystals of ba3-type CcO injected into the flow cell were observed through the glass capillary using the standard alignment optics of BioMAX. (c) Design of the catcher when the goniometer allows vertical mounting from above. This catcher is mounted by sliding over the flow cell and is held in place by friction. (d) Design of the catcher when the goniometer allows vertical mounting from below. In this case the sample also flows downwards. (e) Design of the catcher when the goniometer allows horizontal mounting. |
