New version of the small-angle x-ray equipment for studying biological structures at the station DICSI in the Kurchatov center of synchrotron radiation and nanotechnologies

The results of modernization implemented at the DICSI x-ray small-angle station (the Kurchatov Center of Synchrotron Radiation and Nanotechnologies) are presented. Certain parameters of the hardware and software environment have been successfully tested using the operating channel of the VEPP-3 storage ring (the Siberian Center of Synchrotron Radiation), where the time-resolved diffractometry (“diffraction cinema”) technique was used to study the dynamic and static behavior of living biological structures in different modes of data accumulation. The circuit designs and the basic parameters of x-ray optical schemes are justified theoretically. The results of test experiments with biological samples are presented.
