> Dear All,
>
> The deadline for general user proposals for PX beamtime at the ALS is
> comming up soon! At the BCSB, we have 5 beamlines for which you can
> apply for beamtime. At the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology
> (BCSB) we have recently completed a number of upgrades:
>
> Sector 8: Recent improvements include:
>
> * A high-accuracy microdiffractometer on BL 8.2.1, allowing for
> centering and viewing of very small crystals
> * Robotic automounters which can increase the screening throughput
> at the beamlines, and allows for the implementation of remote data
> collection.
> * A new large format (315mm active surface area) CCD detector on
> BL 8.2.1, facilitating data collection on large unit cell crystals
>
> Sector 5: Beamlines (5.0.1 and 5.0.3) now generate 1.5x10^11 photons
> per second at 0.97 Angstrom. This wavelength is slightly above the Se
> K edge making them ideal for performing Se SAD experiments. Beamline
> 5.0.2 (the tunable beamline) generates a peak flux of 8x10^11 photons
> per second, and the energy range of 5.0.2 has been extended to 17 keV,
> enabling the routine use of shorter wavelengths and anomalously
> scattering elements such as bromine.
> Remote data collection for general users on sector 5 is currently
> being tested for
> a limited number of users. Please contact beamline staff for details.
>
> Please visit http://bcsb.lbl.gov/ for more details about the Center
> and its beamlines.
>
> If you'd like to apply for next round of beamtime (Jan-Feb) at the
> Advanced Light
> Source, please submit a General User proposal by November 15, 2008.

> If you have any questions or would like to request open beamtime,
> please e-mail BCSBBeamtime at lbl.gov.

> (Please note that executed user agreements must be received by LBNL
> prior to beamtime. Proprietary fees, if applicable, must be received
> by LBNL at least five working days prior to scheduled beamtime.)
