TL;DR: The growth of protein crystals suitable for x-ray crystal structure analysis is an important topic as mentioned in this paper and the quality (perfection) of protein crystal is now being evaluated by mosaicity analysis (rocking curves) and topographic images as well as the diffraction resolution limit and overall data quality.

Lysozyme Crystal Growth Kinetics Monitored Using a Mach–Zehnder Interferometer
TL;DR: A Mach-Zehnder interferometer has been developed for the monitoring of the kinetics of the diffusion process in protein crystal growth and chicken egg-white lysozyme crystal growth has thereby been monitored directly.

The Protein Crystallization Diagnostics Facility, a new European instrument to investigate biological macromolecular crystal growth on board the International Space Station
TL;DR: The actual design features of the PCDF are presented and the foreseen utilization scenario is addressed and the predicted values of the observed and studied crystallization processes are addressed.

The protein crystallisation diagnostics facility: status of the ESA programme on the fundamentals of protein crystal growth
TL;DR: The Protein Crystallization Diagnostics Facility (PCDF) as mentioned in this paper is a new facility for protein crystallization in microgravity that will allow for the observation and study of the crystallisation processes of biological macromolecules over long periods in micro-gravity using advanced diagnostics methods, including video microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and Mach-Zehnder interferometry.
