CrystalClear™
CrystalClear provides a complete, unified graphical user interface for data collection and processing of single crystal X-ray diffraction images from two-dimensional position sensitive detectors such as imaging plate area detectors and charged-coupled device (CCD) detectors.-
Instrument control
- Data collection
- Complete automated data collection and processing for routine samples
- Data collection strategy
- Optimization for speed, redundancy or coverage
- Data processing
- Integration
- Empirical and numerical absorption corrections
- Scaling and calculation of ESDs
- Laue group and space group determination
- Reciprocal lattice viewer
- Image viewing manipulation tools
- Continuous instrument and processing displays
CrystalClear incorporates the concept that data acquisition and data processing should be combined under one common, modern interface.
Behind the CrystalClear interface lies d*TREK®, a powerful compute engine designed to process data from all Rigaku detectors and detectors at synchrotrons. CrystalClear also provides an interface to FS_Process developed by Rigaku crystallographers in Japan and the TwinSolve system for processing twinned samples.
CrystalClear was designed to be task-oriented. The individual steps involved in the crystallographic experiment are organized in an interactive flowbar. This interface tool leads the user step-by-step through the experiment and helps the new user avoid mistakes. Individual steps can either be run with default parameters or the associated menus can be accessed.
CrystalClear 2.0 is now available
