The synchrotron beam is more and more frequently used as a material excitatory sound to solve very defined industrial problems related to the life cycle of materials: synthesis, shaping, operation, aging, degradation, preservation, restoration, recycling, and evaluation.

SOLEIL offers high-tech equipment using synchrotron light available in specialized laboratories called beamlines, to analyze, characterize, and monitor inert and living materials. 
A complete range of services, adapted to the specific needs of each client, is also provided by SOLEIL's teams of engineers and researchers.

Users of SOLEIL's state-of-the-art equipment and added-value services benefit from varied types of access or collaboration adapted to their problems, operating limits, and capabilities.

Gains in performance and the specific information obtained via synchrotron techniques have enabled the discovery of a wide range of industrial applications in various economic sectors:

Agribusiness | Cosmetics | Pharmacy | Chemistry | Electronic | Buildings - Public works | Transport | Materials | Energy | Environment and eco-industries
