Which is *not* the same thing - the anomalous difference map Phenix
outputs only shows the anomalous differences in F-obs, and not the
difference between F-obs and F-calc.  As a result, any weaker
anomalous scatterers (like chlorine, etc.) may have their signal
drowned out by the contribution of the metals.
