Sample injector and diagnostic system
Project description
The Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics at Uppsala University provided parts of the bio-imaging instrumentation as a Swedish in-kind contribution to the European XFEL. The instrumentation will permit ultra-fast coherent diffraction studies on non-crystalline objects, such as single virus particles or biomolecuies. The project included tests of prototypes at FLASH in Hamburg and at the LCLS at Stanford.
