in data collection and processing methods at synchrotron beamlines,
using state-of-the-art software and instrumentation. The course will
comprise hands-on experiments at the SSRL beamlines, software tutorials,
and lectures on sample preparation, data collection and reduction,
phasing and complementary methods. For a more complete description of
