The sample delivery systems used in the experiment. (a) High-viscosity extrusion of crystals embedded in a viscous LCP or HEC matrix results in a cylindrical jet of carrier medium containing crystals. The jet was delivered to the interaction region to intersect with the pump (470 nm laser excitation) and probe (12 keV SwissFEL X-rays) beams used in the experiment. X-ray data were collected at 100 Hz. (b) MISP chips with periodic arrays of wells, each containing ideally a single crystal. Mylar foils cap the chip on both sides. (c) Non-patterned SOS chips containing crystals in LCP, the same carrier medium as in the HVE jets, but dispensed as a thin flat layer between two Mylar foils. We adjusted the thickness of the LCP layer to match roughly with the crystal dimension. Both patterned MISP and non-patterned SOS chips were rastered in fixed distances and sampled at 100 Hz.
