Coherent diffraction of single Rice Dwarf Virus particles using hard X-rays at the Linac Coherent Light Source
Aquila, Andrew.
Single particle diffractive imaging data from Rice Dwarf Virus (RDV) was measured using the Coherent X-ray Imaging (CXI) instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). RDV was chosen as it is a well characterised model systems useful for proof-of-principle experiments, system optimization and algorithm development. RDV, an icosahedral virus of about 70 nm in diameter, was aerosolised and injected into the approximately 0.1 m diameter focused hard X-ray beam at the CXI instrument of LCLS. ... Show Full Abstract
Single particle diffractive imaging data from Rice Dwarf Virus (RDV) was measured using the Coherent X-ray Imaging (CXI) instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). RDV was chosen as it is a well characterised model systems useful for proof-of-principle experiments, system optimization and algorithm development. RDV, an icosahedral virus of about 70 nm in diameter, was aerosolised and injected into the approximately 0.1 m diameter focused hard X-ray beam at the CXI instrument of LCLS. Diffraction patterns from RDV were recorded to a resolution of 3.2 ngstrm. The diffraction data is available through the Coherent X-ray Imaging Data Bank (CXIDB) as a resource for algorithm development, the contents of which are described here. Show Partial Abstract
