  • Digital X-ray camera for quality evaluation three-dimensional topographic reconstruction of single crystals of biological macromolecules
    Patent number: 7466798
    Abstract: The present invention provides a digital topography imaging system for determining the crystalline structure of a biological macromolecule, wherein the system employs a charge coupled device (CCD) camera with antiblooming circuitry to directly convert x-ray signals to electrical signals without the use of phosphor and measures reflection profiles from the x-ray emitting source after x-rays are passed through a sample. Methods for using said system are also provided.
