The present invention relates to an in-vitro method of detecting Mtb infection by using SAXS profile of hair sample. The invention is an approach to overcome the problem of non-invasively and cost-effectively yet reliably diagnosing presence of active tuberculosis in the patient. There would be no risk to the sample handlers getting infected from the sample, cross-contamination of samples, low cost and quick turn-around time of diagnosis.

A single-piece hybrid droplet generator and nozzle component for serial crystallography. The single-piece hybrid droplet generator component including an internally-formed droplet-generation channel, an internally-formed sample channel, a nozzle, and a pair of electrode chambers. The droplet-generation channel extends from a first fluid inlet opening to the nozzle. The sample channel extends from a second fluid inlet opening to the droplet-generation channel and joins the droplet-generation channel at a junction. The nozzle is configured to eject a stream of segmented aqueous droplets in a carrier fluid from the droplet-generation channel through a nozzle opening of the single-piece component. The pair of electrode chambers are positioned adjacent to the droplet-generation channel near the junction between the droplet-generation channel and the sample channel. The timing of sample droplets in the stream of fluid ejected through the nozzle is controlled by applying a triggering signal to electrodes positioned in the electrode chambers of the single-piece component.

An X-ray imaging apparatus implements a fluoroscopy that irradiates a weaker dose of X-rays than a dose on the long-length imaging toward a subject M at each location in the long-length imaging range, while moving an X-ray tube in a body axis direction relative to the subject M prior to the long-length imaging, when the long-length imaging is implemented by moving the X-ray tube 2 in the body axis direction relative to the subject M. The dose D.sub.1 at the location having the thick body thickness is less, so that the tube voltage is set up to be high as the tube voltage V.sub.1 and vice versa, the dose D.sub.2 at the location having the thin body thickness is high, so that the tube voltage is set up to be low as the tube voltage V.sub.2.
