A typical SFX experiment at the European XFEL. The laser produces ten trains of X-ray pulses per second, with a pulse repetition rate within each train that can vary from 1.1 to 4.5 MHz. The diffraction from the protein sample is measured using an adaptive gain integrating pixel detector (AGIPD), which is capable of measuring up to 352 images from each bunch train at frame rates up to 4.5 MHz (Wiedorn et al., 2018). |
