Ultrafast single-particle imaging with intense x-ray pulses from free-electron laser sources provides a new approach for visualizing structure and dynamics on the nanoscale. After a short introduction to the novel free-electron laser sources and methods, we highlight selected applications and discuss how ultrafast imaging flourishes from method development to early applications in physics and biology to opportunities for chemical sciences.
利用自由电子激光源产生的强X射线脉冲进行超快单粒子成像,为在纳米尺度上可视化结构和动力学提供了一种新方法。在简要介绍了新型自由电子激光源和方法之后,我们重点介绍了一些选定的应用,并讨论了超快成像如何从方法开发发展到在物理和生物学中的早期应用,再到化学科学领域的机遇。
