Dear Andreas :

I routinely use CLIMS2 which is a program written using MySQL and a
client-server architecture. In terms of installation, it is not very
difficult if you know something about MySQL. You have versions for Linux
and Windoze, which have the same philosophy. All the versions share a
client based on Java. 

It allow the user to store information about crystallization trials, but
unfortunately still not contain all the commercially available
screenings, so you have to create them by hand. Other problems about the
program are the limited number of different crystallization plates (it
only has 24 and 96 well).

About the things that you want, the program can store information about
different observations of the same drop, even diffraction or
crystallization images. It has a very sexy graphic interface that allow
you to score drops by results.

Anyhow, you can find more information and download the program at :

Good luck

Francisco
