Zhang at al. Volume 2 | Part 3 | May 2015 | Pages 322–326 A one-dimensional powder diffraction pattern (e.g. from a mixture of zeolites) seen using conventional methods (left) may potentially be analysed as three-dimensional single-crystal patterns using serial crystallography (right). A one-dimensional powder diffraction pattern seen using conventional methods (left) may potentially be analysed as three-dimensional single-crystal patterns using serial crystallography (right).

Improve SFX? Challenges: partial reflections; massive number of crystals (~1M) needed; difficult to process. Proposed SwissFEL bandwidth ~ 3% by strong pulse compression (save time and sample by 30-fold comparing to mono mode) 12/2/2018
Laue Diffraction: a stationary crystal during exposure; polychromatic beam; wavelength normalization required. 12/2/2018
Laue Diffraction Large number of spots on a single image. Non-oscillation sample (e.g. in situ plates) Potential time-resolved application Examples: Moffat, Szebenyi & Bilderback (1984), Science, 223, 1423-25. Hadju et al (1987) Nature, 329, 178-181. Bilderback Hoffman & Thiel (1994) Science, 263, 201-203. Genick, …, Moffat & Getzoff (1997) Science, 275, 1471-75. 12/2/2018
Laue v.s. Mono Laue Pro: most full reflections; fewer crystals needed; easier to scale/merge. Con: more sensitive to mosaicity; possible spatial overlap for large unit cell. Mono Pro: less sensitive to mosaicity. Con: partial reflections; more crystals needed; difficult to process. 12/2/2018

Experimental Procedures MicroMesh (Mitegen) mounts and flash-cooled, or Liquid jet or LCP or in situ plates at room-T Data will be recorded from one crystal at a time using an area detector. For each crystal, one still image will be recorded Data will be indexed, refined and integrated with the program LAUEGEN 12/2/2018
