Single Particle Sample Delivery Workshop

Category: Workshop
Description:

BioXFEL is pleased to announce it will be hosting a Single Particle Sample Delivery Workshop in conjunction with the 4th Annual Conference. 

XFEL-based single-particle imaging techniques hold the potential to reveal the high-resolution structures of non-crystalline bioparticles such as proteins and viruses, including dynamical systems on fast timescales.  Along with algorithmic developments, great progress has been made over the last decade to continuously improve data collection rates and data quality.  Nonetheless, the widespread application of this technique will require significant improvements to the quality of samples delivered to nano-focused x-ray beams, the efficiency of sample delivery, and reductions in the level of background scatter.  This workshop consists of a series of presentations by specialists in the field, that aim to outline the present challenges and to showcase recent progress in single-particle imaging.

Date and Location:

January 9th, 2017 at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, NV
