Figure 1
(a) The experimental geometry of single-particle imaging adopted in the data-stream simulator. (b) This simulator implements a planar square detector comprising d × d square pixels, each of area lD2. The detector is positioned at zD from the X-ray interaction region, where (c) the scatterer (depicted here as a sphere of radius Rp) is typically an electron-density map sampled from a Protein Data Bank file. From these, one can compute the maximum scattering angle captured by the detector, subtended by grey triangles in part (a) to either the edge or corner of the detector. Here, we take this maximum angle φmax as the latter. Combined with the incident photon wavelength λ, this allows us to determine the half-period resolution, a, from the detector's edge, which is equivalent to the length of the voxel (red) in the reconstructed electron-density map. |
