Free-electron-laser coherent diffraction images of individual drug-carrying liposome particles in solution

Giorgio Margaritondo, Ying Chen, Ke Peng

Using the excellent performances of a SACLA (RIKEN/HARIMA, Japan) X-ray free electron laser (X-FEL), coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) was used to detect individual liposome particles in water, with or without inserted doxorubicin nanorods. This was possi ...
