(a) Conceptual overview of the experiment (XFEL propagation: right to left): XFEL pulses are focused into dense neon gas and are measured with an x-ray spectrometer. KBMs = KB mirrors. CP = connection port. (b) 3D drawing of the target-delivery and differential-pressure setup. In the main chamber, the iTOF is placed from above, while the microscope and industrial camera are placed upstream, looking at the interaction region via a mirror. TMPs are mounted from behind. Chamber pressures (black/blue) are given for 6 bar of neon backing pressure. (c) Magnification of a differential-pressure chamber. The pressure reduction tubes are 10 cm long and have a 1 cm inner diameter.
