LCLS Macromolecular Femtosecond Crystallography (MFX)
The Macromolecular Femtosecond Crystallography (MFX) instrument makes use of the ability for short pulses of X-rays to limit damage to samples during the exposure. The “diffraction-before-destruction” concept can enable high resolution data to be collected on radiation-sensitive samples, primarily biological samples.
