Closed access academic journals are evil.

Often used as a synonym for X-ray crystallography, or to refer more specifically to the diffraction part of the experiment (exluding therefore sample preparation and data processing).

cyclotrons produce the better images, but they are expensive/you have to move to them and order a timeslot.

Lab-based just use some X-ray source from the lab, so it is much move convenient e.g. for a pharmaceutical company doing a bunch of images. The Wikipedia image shows such a self-contained lab system: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Freezed_XRD.jpg

Crystallography determination with a transmission electron microscopy instead of the more classical X-ray crystallography.

One problem popped up about one year after having bought the blinds in 2019: the blind won't stay still except at the most closed position. Anywhere above it started to slowly go up by itself.

It is not super serious as it covers the two main use cases: full closed and fully open, but it is a bit worrying.
