Description
Exploiting the high brigthness of PETRA III, we have been successfully using the
'untouched' beam from an U32 undulator for the homogeneous illumination of crystal mounts
for detecting individual crystals (Polikarpov et al. (2019) Acta Cryst. D75:947).
Recently, we have expanded the imaging experiments to various small organisms, in
particular platynereis dumerilii. Using technologies in place for high-throughput
crystallography, full 3D tomograms of such samples can be recorded in less than 5 minutes,
opening exciting perspectives for large-scale studies.
