Versatile Scanning X-ray Microscopy Facility at the Australian Synchrotron

现代世界的挑战意味着澳大利亚社会必须继续获得最先进的研究工具。国际同步辐射源的一个重要组成部分是非常高分辨率的x射线显微镜。这些显微镜用于以极高的精度对生物、材料或环境样品进行成像。该项目将在克莱顿的澳大利亚同步加速器建立这样一个显微镜，并促成一个广泛的全国性合作，致力于发展这一技术和相关技术，并将其应用于具有国家科学、环境和技术重要性的问题。

The challenges of the modern world means that the Australian community must continue to have access to state of the art research tools. An important component of international synchrotron sources is the very high resolution x-ray microscope. These microscopes are used to image samples of biological, material or environmental significance with extraordinary precision. This project will establish such a microscope at the Australian Synchrotron in Clayton, and nucleates an extensive nationwide collaboration that is devoted to the development of this and related techniques and their application to problems of national scientific, environmental and technological importance.
