Includes papers presented at the Seventh International Workshop on X-ray Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples
Diamond Light Source, UK, 14-16 March 2012

Cover illustration: Radiation damage montage: the background shows an overlay of the first and last image of an exposure series of cryo-electron microscopy images. The sample suffered from beam-induced motions; these motions were tracked using gold fiducial markers (in red). A Voronoi diagram, shown in blue, is used for non-rigid registration of the images (see Karimi Nejadasl, Karuppasamy, Newman, McGeehan and Ravelli, pages 58-66). In the foreground, absorbed dose isosurfaces (0.11, 1.8 and 2.5 MGy) for a cuboid crystal, exposed during an X-ray diffraction experiment ten times along its length using a translation data collection strategy to spread dose more evenly, as calculated by Zeldin, Gerstel and Garman (pages 49-57).
