After doing some back-of-envelope calculations, I estimate the head of that poor little bug experiences about 300g acceleration during that jump.

This looks impressive. I do wonder where the compromise is though (other than the price) -- will their claim of 15 stop dynamic range for stills claim will hold up to independent testing?

@MikeRan According to their article (cited below), the crystal is bent by placing it on a precisely formed mold and applying a pressure differential to the crystal. You are correct that a 100...

I looked up a few scholarly articles from this group and their approach is interesting -- it's actually a thin silicon crystal (~100 micron) that they bend to meet the desired curvature. I'd be...

Extending on a few excellent points that have already been made here, I want to point out that electromagnetic waves in x-ray wavelengths have much different interactions with materials than...

I, for one, am glad you circled back to those experimental physics roots.

Some really great suggestions here (as an experimental physicist, I’m upset with myself for not sorting out an experiment like this in my own)! Thanks, Roger!

Try updating it again. I ran into the same issue, but the new, new version that they hastily posted corrected the issue for me.

It looks like it may have been a mistake (I'm willing to give them then benefit of the doubt). They rushed out an update and my prior purchase is now recognized.

This doesn't appear to be the case. I just updated and now can...

It's all about flexibility and acceptable (this is subjective) compromises. It's nice to have a lens like this as a simple, decent option for when you want to go with a minimalist setup, and, for...
