Hi Folmer,
But if people come from e.g. CNS they might not be used to thinking that way? (maps as mtz vs "calculated maps" representing specific parts of the Unit cell).
what's in MTZ is not the map, but Fourier map coefficients, that have to be Fourier-transformed to obtain the actual electron density map (which is, strictly speaking, not the electron density map but its Fourier image) computed on three-dimensional grid. The latter may be computed in the whole unit cell or around selected region. Tools such as phenix.maps or phenix.refine give you the full control over all of this. All the best! Pavel.
