Schematic visualisation of the entire structure used to generate x-ray flashes in the wavelength range between 2.3 and 4.4 nanometres: A plasma photocathode laser (top left) generates ultra-bright electron beams, which are subsequently used to generate x-ray laser radiation in a magnetic undulator (right).
