Simple convergent-nozzle aerosol injector for single-particle diffractive imaging with X-ray free-electron lasers

A major challenge in high-resolution x-ray free-electron laser-based coherent diffractive imaging is the development of aerosol injectors that can efficiently deliver particles to the peak intensity of the focused X-ray beam. Here, we consider the use of a simple convergent-orifice nozzle for produc...
