Naturally grown nanostructures like biological particles and clusters have an individual, complex and often non-reproducible structure. By using brilliant light pulses from short wavelength free-electron lasers, coherent diffraction imaging of single particles opens a new route to reveal the structures of such non-crystallizables targets [1].
We introduce a novel method to directly image the structural changes of the particles by recording a two-frame movie . Two separate images show the intact particle as well as the same particle at a later stage with the induced structural changes. The required double x-ray pulses are produced by a novel delay stage DESC soon available for users at the free-electron laser FLASH in Hamburg. The multilayer-based unit will be able to deliver x-ray double pulses with delays from 0 fs up to 600 ps. DESC will be set up as a part of the permanent endstation at FLASH, CAMP [2] including also KB optics for extremely tight focusing.
