Abstract

The last few years has seen a massive development of synchrotron radiation (SR) sources for the study of the sub-micron world with the consequence that the use of SR has become an accepted technique for the study of macromolcules such as proteins, partially ordered materials such as muscles and polymers, and other materials in both crystalline and amorphous forms. This review outlines the principles of SR production and indicates how SR is being applied to a variety of x-ray imaging problems. This theme is illustrated by references to the SR source (SRS) at the Daresbury Laboratory.
