The degradation in crystal morphology with dose. (a) Apoferritin crystal before irradiation (crystal edges of ∼100 µm). (b) Irradiation caused the liquid in the loop to be bleached along the beam path. (c) The edges of the crystal degrade upon further exposure. (d) When the crystal is warmed up to 293 K the crystal explodes and bubbles of gas are released.
