title: Acoustic Injectors Meet X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers.
abstract: In this issue of Structure, Roessler et al. (2016) present a new method to acoustically inject samples for serial femtosecond crystallography into the focus of free-electron lasers. This method can drastically reduce the sample consumption of this method. It will therefore play an important role in the mix of sample preparation technologies.
