XFEL is probably going to be a better way to look at biological macromolecules (though I'm not sure if the resolution would be high enough to see atom-sized details).
It's a kind of the opposite approach: instead of slowly collecting information from extremely static scene they will blast the sample with very powerful X-ray laser, taking snapshot before shattering it to pieces.
