This historical account describes the origins of using synchrotron radiation for millisecond time-resolved X-ray diffraction in muscle tissue.
Historical milestone in muscle diffraction; leaves open modern synchrotron applications in cardiovascular research.
The need to record low-angle-scattering X-ray fibre diagrams from muscle with millisecond time resolution drove the use of synchrotron radiation as an X-ray light source. The first smudgy diffraction patterns were obtained from a slice of insect flight muscle. Out of this grew the EMBL Outstation at DESY.
