Microscopes need light, and one of the most powerful sources of light in the world recently became operational. Housed at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, the synchrotron, as it is called, produces electrons that give off light millions of times blighter than the Earth's sun. Researchers use the light for various design and manufacturing projects. Stainless steel, of which S30400, S30403 and S31603 are the most common types, is used extensively in the vacuum chambers, as well as in such specialised applications as the K93600 supports that provide dimensional stability in some of the optic systems.
