Diffraction structural biology - a new horizon.

An introductory overview to the special issue papers on diffraction structural biology in this issue of the journal.

Research and development of an electron beam focusing system for a high-brightness X-ray generator.

A new type of rotating anticathode X-ray generator, where an electron beam of up to 60 keV irradiates the inner surface of a U-shaped Cu anticathode, has achieved a beam brilliance of 130 kW mm(-2) (at 2.3 kW). A higher-flux electron beam is expected from simulation by optimizing the geometry of a combined-function-type magnet instead of the fringing field of the bending magnet.

A 3 x 6 arrayed CCD X-ray detector for continuous rotation method in macromolecular crystallography.

A 3 x 6 arrayed charge-coupled device (CCD) X-ray detector has been developed for the continuous-rotation method in macromolecular crystallography at the Photon Factory. The detector has an area of 235.9 mm x 235.
