European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF),Grenoble,France. The ESRF uses synchrotron radiation emitted as a result of electrons being accelerated around a storage ring housed in the circular building seen in the picture. The radiation is emitted in the form of ultraviolet light and X-rays,which are then used for a variety of experiments in fields as varied as solid state physics,materials science,chemistry,biology and medicine. At the time of its inauguration on September 30,1994,the ESRF was the world's brightest source of X-rays. It can produce X-rays that are one thousand billion times brighter than hospital X-rays | |
