1 +P11 offers its **experienced users** the possibility of a remote data collection. The remote access is intended only for macromolecular crystallography using the 1-Axis Goniostat and is granted only for **users who have previously collected data on-site**.
2 +
3 +The remote session is operated from any internet browser through the Linux remote desktop //FastX//. No software pre-installation is needed. Users receive a direct link to the remote desktop to which they connect using their DOOR credentials.
4 +
5 +If more than one user per group is requesting remote access, all participants are kindly asked to connect/be present via conference call **at the start of the beamtime** for instructions from the local contact.
6 +
7 +== Prerequisites for Remote Access ==
8 +
9 +The guidelines for applying for Remote Access follow the guidelines of a regular beamtime:
10 + Valid DOOR user account
11 + Valid DOOR proposal
12 + Valid DOOR safety trainings ("Basic instructions" and "Petra III")
13 +in addition to:
14 + **At least one on-site beamtime participation**
15 + **Samples [[shipped>>url:https://photon-science.desy.de/facilities/petra_iii/beamlines/p11_bio_imaging_and_diffraction/user_information/e298220/index_eng.html]] exclusively in [[Unipucks>>url:https://photon-science.desy.de/sites/site_photonscience/content/e58/e176720/e177229/e179139/e211120/e254458/e254463/e254464/Unipucks_eng.png]]**
16 + Please include the list of pucks inside the shipping case
17 +\\Remote Access sessions also follow P11's [[Shift Allocation Policy>>url:https://photon-science.desy.de/facilities/petra_iii/beamlines/p11_bio_imaging_and_diffraction/user_information/e262293/index_eng.html]].
