Hi there, Thank you for all your suggestions and generous help, I tried some methods you guys mentioned and learned something new . I really appreciate it. With Kay's help,(after exclusion of the ice rings he found that the data are P1, not P2(1). ) I got my structure solved, there are four copies

Hi, I agree with other people. You must have a wrong index here. Can you tell us what is the unit cell for this crystal from your determination? I can see very close spots in the high resolution shell from your image, which are overlapped into one spot in the low resolution shell. Try to use other

Hi I'd agree with Kay here - I would think that the original indexing is incorrect. One thing I notice on the original image as posted - there's a red cross on it - if that's supposed to mark the beam position, I think it's about 4mm or so away from the true position. So - (1) check th

Hi ChenTiantian, the R-factors and I/sigma are bad even at low resolution where the first icering does not influence the results. Thus, the problem with your data processing has little to do with the icerings. I guess that the indexing is not correct. My suggestion: 1) using adxv or a similar

These rings are nanocrystalline cubic ice (ice Ic, as opposed to the "usual" ice Ih). It is an interesting substance in that noone has ever prepared a large single crystal of it. In fact, for very small crystals it can be hard to distinguish it from amorphous ice (or "glassy water"). The thr

Your main problem is not the ice rings but a wrong lattice/indexing solution. R factors are very high for even low res shells and I/sigma very low. To me this tells you are not finding your diffraction spots at all. First thing to try: Take more images for the indexing step and use only the str

First of all, are you sure those are ice rings? They do not look typical. I think you might have salt crystals from dehydration *before* freezing. Otherwise, I think your freezing went well. Maybe try a humidity controlled environment when you freeze. Second, I'm not so sure the bad stats come
