Single-particle imaging by x-ray free-electron lasers—How many snapshots are needed?

X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) open the possibility of obtaining diffraction information from a single biological macromolecule. This is because XFELs can generate extremely intense x-ray pulses that are so short that diffraction data can be collected before the sample is destroyed. By collectin...
