Using a non-monochromatic microbeam for serial snapshot crystallography

The proof of concept for using a 4% broad-bandpass beam, which is planned for the new SwissFEL facility, for the structural characterization of nonbiological materials is shown.

Can Laue microdiffraction be used to solve and refine complex inorganic structures?

The feasibility of exploiting the features of Laue microdiffraction to characterize the structures of inorganic materials by using data collected on several randomly oriented stationary microcrystals is demonstrated.
