  1. a120 Hz is compatible with X-ray cameras only. It is typically used at 30 Hz maximum for alignment. Otherwise, it matches the optical laser repetition rate.
  2. bCombination of X-ray and Optical magnification.
  3. cReduces chromatic aberrations but lowers the input X-ray pulse energy.
  4. dWith use of the hCMOS detector.
