<i>iMOSFLM</i>: a new graphical interface for diffraction-image processing with<i>MOSFLM</i>

TLDR

iMOSFLM provides a graphical interface for the diffraction data‑integration program MOSFLM. It aims to simplify data processing by breaking the workflow into sequential, manageable steps. The interface presents each processing step in its own pane, automatically setting suitable parameters while offering detailed menus for advanced control and providing graphical feedback for indexing, strategy calculation, cell refinement, integration, and history. The paper discusses key parameters for each step and how to evaluate success or failure.

Abstract

iMOSFLM is a graphical user interface to the diffraction data-integration program MOSFLM. It is designed to simplify data processing by dividing the process into a series of steps, which are normally carried out sequentially. Each step has its own display pane, allowing control over parameters that influence that step and providing graphical feedback to the user. Suitable values for integration parameters are set automatically, but additional menus provide a detailed level of control for experienced users. The image display and the interfaces to the different tasks (indexing, strategy calculation, cell refinement, integration and history) are described. The most important parameters for each step and the best way of assessing success or failure are discussed.
