The story of develompent of the Weissenberg camera for macromolecular crystallography

Abstract

It would be impossible in a scientific paper to document all the motivation, ideas, difficulties and indispensible helps behind the development of the Weissenberg camera. However, in this article some of this history will be discussed. The camera were available to users since 1987. In the spring of 1995 alone, 91 Japanese and 51 foreign teams had active proposals to use the cameras.
