At what percentage of saturated peaks is acceptable?

Hi, I have a technical question that is not related to phenix, but I hope some expertise around may help me out. I am intending to increase the exposure time to gain some resolution. At the same time I do not want too many over exposed peak. The question comes to at what percentage of the saturated peaks is acceptable? Many thanks. ====================== Jason Structural Biology Department University of Pittsburgh ======================

I would recommend taking two passes; a low-resolution pass with short exposures and a high-resolution pass with longer exposures. Then merge the two, and you've got a complete dataset. If applicable, take three or more passes. MM On Feb 16, 2011, at 8:39 PM, Jason wrote:

If you start losing completeness at low resolution, just collect a low resolution pass (i.e. exactly the same frames but with short exposures). Be mindful of radiation damage though. On Wed, 2011-02-16 at 20:39 -0500, Jason wrote:
