X-ray imaging beyond the limits

Abstract

The intense, brief pulses of X-rays from upcoming free-electron lasers will greatly extend X-ray microscopy to the femtosecond time domain and to interatomic length scales. From recent experiments and simulations one can envisage imaging macromolecules with X-rays without the need for crystallization.
