When you designed your quite unique system, what tools did you use? - seemed to me that there was nothing much out there.

There is only one criteria, maximise the signal to noise without sacrificing too much spatial information! For the last thirty years of my working life I collected x-ray diffraction data from protein crystals with very large unit cells. Most of the experimental innovative effort in our lab was to maximise the signal to noise of our data. Our home laboratory system had a better signal to noise than many/all synchrotron based systems. The protein beam line at Melbourne's synchrotron uses many of our concepts and is one of the best on the planet.
