Australian Synchrotron Storage Ring
Electrons circulate within the storage ring which is 216 metres in circumference. The electrons are bent within magnets and produce synchrotron light. The light is then delivered to end stations for use in material, biochemistry or nanoscience studies. One end station we saw was for medical applications.
The red and green large objects in this picture are magnets that can be used to focus and improve the quality of the electrons and hence the light and in the end the data.
