Figure 2
(a) Schematic representation of an SPI experiment. The incoming XFEL beam interacts with the virus injected by the particle injector. The particle is destroyed afterwards owing to Coulomb explosion. X-ray radiation from the non-destroyed virus is scattered to the detector positioned in the far field. (b) Examples of single hits. (c) Examples of non-single hits. The diffraction patterns in (b) and (c) are shown in logarithmic scale; an area of size 192 × 96 pixels from the whole diffraction pattern is shown. The scale bars in (b) and (c) correspond to 0.2 nm−1. |
