no, not quite.. Given two data sets, Fobs1 and Fobs2, and a phase source 
(eg., atomic model), it computes

(Fobs1-scale*Fobs2, Phase)

Fourier map. Both data sets are assumed to be collected from isomorphous 
crystals (same space groups, unit cells can deviate up to a small 
tolerance).

Phenix treats Fobs(+) and Fobs(-) as individual data points, so in the 
map above they will participate as, for example

(Fobs1(+)-scale*Fobs2(+), Phase)

(Fobs1(-)-scale*Fobs2(-), Phase)
