X-ray Diffraction

Caption

The diffraction imaging layout at beamline 9.0.1: from left, coherent x-rays illuminate the sample (center), which is mounted on a silicon nitride window just 50 nanometers thick in a movable frame. Diffraction patterns at various orientations are measured using a downstream CCD camera, right. A beamstop prevents the direct beam from striking the CCD; multiple exposure times are summed to expand the CCD's dynamic range.
