In single-particle coherent x-ray diffraction experiments, diffraction patterns are recorded from individual sample particles. To overcome the inherently small signal-to-noise ratio, large numbers of identical particles need to be controlled and guided subsequently into the small focus of free-electron lasers (FELs). We establish particle control for example via electrostatic deflection or optical guiding in tractor beams [1], ultimately aiming at delivering one nanoparticle at a time into successive FEL shots.
