Self-amplified spontaneous emission in a free-electron laser has been proposed for the generation of very high brightness coherent x-rays. This process involves passing high-energy, high-charge, short-pulse, low-energy-spread, and low-emittance electron beam through periodic magnetic field long series high-quality undulator magnets. The radiation produced grows exponentially intensity until it reaches saturation point. We report on demonstration self-amplified gain, exponential growth, at...
Radiation damage is a major limitation in crystallography of biological macromolecules, even for cryocooled samples, and particularly acute microdiffraction. For the X-ray energies most commonly used protein at synchrotron sources, photoelectrons are predominant source radiation damage. If beam size small relative to photoelectron path length, then may escape footprint, resulting less illuminated volume. Thus, it be possible exploit this phenomenon reduce radiation-induced during data...
The high-brilliance X-ray beams from undulator sources at third-generation synchrotron facilities are excellent tools for solving crystal structures of important and challenging biological macromolecules complexes. However, many the most structural targets yield crystals that too small or inhomogeneous a ;standard' beam an source, approximately 25-50 microm (FWHM) in vertical 50-100 horizontal direction. Although have microfocus beamlines other applications, this capability macromolecular...
Automated scanning capabilities have been added to the data acquisition software, JBluIce-EPICS, at National Institute of General Medical Sciences and Cancer Collaborative Access Team (GM/CA CAT) Advanced Photon Source. A `raster' feature enables sample centering via diffraction over two-dimensional grids simple rectangular or complex polygonal shape.

GM/CA‐CAT has developed a 1‐μm beam for challenging micro‐diffraction experiments with macromolecular crystals (e.g. small crystals) and radiation damage studies. Reflective (Kirkpatrick‐Baez mirrors) diffractive (Fresnel zone plates) optics have been used to focus the beam. Both cases are constrained by need maintain convergence. Using two different plates, 1.0×1.0 0.8×0.9 μm2 (V×H,FWHM) beams were created at 15.2 keV 18.5 keV, respectively. Additionally, introducing vertical focusing...
Recently, several important structures have been solved using micro‐crystallographic techniques that previously could not with conventional crystallography. At GM/CA‐CAT we continue to develop capabilities for difficult problems such as small crystals of large macromolecular complexes or membrane proteins grown in the lipidic cubic phase.
