A sub-picosecond accumulating streak camera for x-rays
An x-ray streak camera system uses a laser triggered photo-conductive switch to synchronize the high voltage ramp applied to its sweep plates to the photo-excitation of a sample. This technique allows the jitter between successive sweeps to be kept below 100 fs compared to over 1 ps using classical methods. By accumulating a stable pulsed x-ray signal over many sweeps, a very high dynamic range...
متن کاملHigh Resolution In-Vivo Electrode Localization Using Microfocal X-Rays
Neuroscientists lack the ability to perform in-vivo electrode localization with high accuracy, especially in deep brain structures. The design, implementation and testing of a microfocal x-ray stereo system that offers an efficient, accurate, and relatively low-cost solution this localization problem is presented. The results indicate the ability to localize a targets to within ~50 microns, in ...
متن کاملReview of methods for time interval measurements with picosecond resolution
This paper is a review of methods and techniques used for precise measurement of time intervals (TIs) or precise conversion of TIs to digital data. The following methods are described: the counter method and averaging, time stretching, time-to-amplitude conversion followed by analogue-to-digital conversion, the Vernier method, conversion utilizing tapped delay lines, and interpolation methods. ...
متن کاملPicosecond time-resolved X-ray crystallography: probing protein function in real time.
A detailed mechanistic understanding of how a protein functions requires knowledge not only of its static structure, but also how its conformation evolves as it executes its function. The recent development of picosecond time-resolved X-ray crystallography has allowed us to visualize in real time and with atomic detail the conformational evolution of a protein. Here, we report the photolysis-in...
متن کاملEfficient sub 100 nm focusing of hard x rays
An x-ray beam with energy of 20.5 keV has been efficiently focused down to a spot size as small as 90 nm390 nm by a Kirkpatrick–Baez reflecting mirrors device. The first mirror, coated with a graded multilayer, plays both the role of vertical focusing device and monochromator, resulting in a very high flux s231011 photons/sd and medium monochromaticity sDE /E,10−2d. Evaluation of the error cont...
