(a) µGISAXS and hanging-drop setup. The current hanging-drop setup is used for `stop' experiments. Abbreviations: nanostructured protein template (n), substrate (S), protein solution droplet (D), precipitating agent (A). αi and αf denote the incident and exit angle; Sp is the specular reflected beam. The specular (Sp) and direct (Di) beams are shadowed by beamstops in order to avoid saturation of the detector. (b) Future setup for in situ experiments on nanocrystal growth with the hanging-drop technique. Thin X-ray transparent windows (W) allow entry and exit of X-rays. |
