MS SPIDOC is a novel sample delivery system designed for single (isolated) particle imaging at X-ray Free-Electron Lasers
that is adaptable towards most large-scale facility beamlines. Biological samples can range from small proteins to MDa
particles. Following nano-electrospray ionization, ionic samples can be m/z-filtered and structurally separated before being
oriented at the interaction zone. Here, we present the simulation package developed alongside this prototype. The first part
describes how the front-to-end ion trajectory simulations have been conducted. Highlighted is a quadrant lens; a simple but
efficient device that steers the ion beam within the vicinity of the strong DC orientation field in the interaction zone to ensure
spatial overlap with the X-rays. The second part focuses on protein orientation and discusses its potential with respect to
diffractive imaging methods. Last, coherent diffractive imaging of prototypical T = 1 and T = 3 norovirus capsids is shown.
We use realistic experimental parameters from the SPB/SFX instrument at the European XFEL to demonstrate that low-
resolution diffractive imaging data (q < 0.3 nm −1 ) can be collected with only a few X-ray pulses. Such low-resolution data
are sufficient to distinguish between both symmetries of the capsids, allowing to probe low abundant species in a beam if
MS SPIDOC is used as sample delivery.
