===========================
NOTE for processing images
===========================

This data was collected using MPCCD with short working distance (SWD) octal configuration (8 sensors).
For details, see reference [1] (you can see how it looks).

dark_*.h5
========
Dark images for each run. Contains 150 frames for each, and the averaged value should be subtracted from diffraction images.

data_*.h5
========
Diffraction images. One run contains 5,000 shots, but only 'low-level filtered' images are contained. Some files may not have any images.
NOTE that low-angle filter was used for Hg-derivative images and it should be corrected in data processing (see our Sci. Rep. 2015 paper).

HDF5 hierarchy
============
All h5 files have the same structure.
They contain not only detector images but also sensor geometries & gains, photon energies, beam monitor values, attenuator thicknesses, and so on (see reference [1]).

Note for CrystFEL
==============
Prior to processing by CrystFEL, you need to subtract averaged dark image and normalize detector gain which varies among sensors (see detector_info/absolute_gain).
For CCD count to photon number, see reference [1].
For understanding sensor geometry description, see reference [2].
