Welcome to the TIMEleSS Multigrain wiki. This page is part of the ANR-DFG TIMEleSS Project, a joint French-German research project between the Université de Lille, the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster, and the Deutsche GeoForschungsZentrum, Potsdam. TIMEleSS ran from 2018 until 2022 and you can check the TIMEleSS homepage for details on the project, results, and its members.

TIMEleSS included data collection using multigrain crystallography in the diamond anvil cell (MGC). Such x-ray diffraction data are difficult to understand and process. The current page were written by TIMEleSS members to keep a manual and share experiences during their data processing. The manual is now fully public.

If you use any of this content, please acknowledge one of our publications involving multigrain crystallography from the TIMEleSS project!
