Adding Electrons to Synchrotron Imaging Synergies

摘要

Now celebrating its tenth year of research and innovation, Diamond Light Source, the UK's synchrotron radiation facility, is building on the synergies with electron microscopy with the goal of allowing researchers to study samples at a large range of length scales.Two new centres, known as the electron Physical Sciences Imaging Centre (ePSIC) and the electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC), have both been constructed with the goal of making Diamond a key facility for high-resolution imaging in the UK. Diamond also has at present 28 operational beamlines that make use of synchrotron light to investigate a range of scientific challenges across the physical and life sciences, as well as contributing to cultural heritage and food science.
