Excuses,

> 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.)
