A synchrotron radiation camera and data acquisition system for time resolved X-ray scattering studies

Abstract
Until recently, time resolved measurements of X-ray scattering patterns have not been feasible because laboratory X-ray sources were too weak and detectors unavailable. Recent developments in both these fields have changed the situation, and it is now possible to follow changes in X-ray scattering patterns with a time resolution of a few ms. The apparatus used to achieve this is described and some examples from recent biological experiments are given.
