From: Femtosecond multimodal imaging with a laser-driven X-ray source

The laser is focused onto a gas jet inside the interaction chamber. The accelerated electrons are swept away by magnets after the gas jet. The laser is stopped by an appropriate beam-block, while the X-ray propagates outside the chamber. The mask is placed after the chamber exit window, the pixelated X-ray detector just downstream. The sample is mounted between the mask and the detector.
