Sample injector and diagnostic system

Coordinating university or institute

Uppsala University, www.uu.se

Facility

XFEL

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.
