The fact that chi^2 is approximately 1.0 in all shells says that the deviations are about what is expected from the error model. The fact that Rpim is much lower than Rmeas means that you have rather high redundancy. This would seem to be a case of collecting low dose per image and making up for it with high redundancy, a strategy that has been recommended to ensure a full dataset even in the case of high radiation sensitivity. In my opinion the high Rmerge is nothing to worry about. Look instead at CC1/2 and I/sigI which seem fine.

Dear All, Sorry for the off-topic. I recently collected a set of data. The diffraction spots are extremely sharp. However, When I used HKL3000 to scale it, I get a final resolution at 3.1A with overall R-merge ~0.54 (R-merge in the highest 3.2A-3.1A shell: 1.59). Then I solve the structure with final R value 0.19 and R free value 0.24 although I know this Rmerge value is totally unacceptable, and the density looks perfect. I also tried to collect other four set of data with different crystals. unfortunately, all of them have same problem. I ask one of my friend who is an expert in HKL3000, but he had no idea about it. Does anyone has suggestions? Here is the scale information for your review: Space group: P43 (I also tried P1, the Rmerge value is still similar) Shell Lower Upper Average Average Norm.
