A new phase of exploitation of neutrons has arisen from the synergy between synchrotron X-ray and neutron technique developments. The use of a much broader spectrum from reactor neutron sources than hitherto, and a very large area image plate detector sensitive to neutrons, has been applied to study the protons of lysozyme.
