Attention: whenever there is a possibility of alternative indexing, there is also a chance that the crystal (and its data) may be twinned! In the example above, the twinning law is h, -k , h-l . A good tool to identify this situation is [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/sfcheck.html SFCHECK]. Whenever you see '''!!! WARNING !!! SOLUTION MAY NOT BE UNIQUE.''' in IDXREF.LP, you should be aware of this possible problem. | Attention: whenever there is a possibility of alternative indexing, there is also a chance that the crystal (and its data) may be twinned!

FIXME: shortly discuss merohedral (Laue symmetry is of a lower order than the apparent crystal lattice symmetry) and non-merohedral twinning (example above) here. | FIXME: shortly discuss merohedral (Laue symmetry is of a lower order than the apparent crystal lattice symmetry) and non-merohedral twinning (example above) here. | ||
