Perspectives on single particle imaging with x rays at the advent of high repetition rate x-ray free electron laser sources. [PDF]
X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) now routinely produce millijoule level pulses of x-ray photons with tens of femtoseconds duration. Such x-ray intensities gave rise to the idea that weakly scattering particles—perhaps single biomolecules or viruses ...

Expansion-maximization-compression algorithm with spherical harmonics for single particle imaging with x-ray lasers. [PDF]
In three-dimensional (3D) single particle imaging with x-ray free-electron lasers, particle orientation is not recorded during measurement but is instead recovered as a necessary step in the reconstruction of a 3D image from the diffraction data. Here we
