Abstract

Nass et al. [IUCrJ (2021), 8, 905-920] applied a wide bandwidth beam (pink beam) to serial femtosecond crystallography at X-ray free electron lasers. This approach will lead to better datasets in a shorter time from fewer crystals.

Keywords: XFELs; pink beams; serial femtosecond crystallography; wide bandwidths.
