SOLEIL Highlights 2017

2017 will be remembered as the first year with all 29 SOLEIL beamlines receiving photons. An increasing number of operational experimental stations is available, with the opening to users of the multi-scale X-ray fluorescence imaging branch of NANOSCOPIUM, with submicroscopic resolution, and with the first micro- and nano- X-ray tomography tests on ANATOMIX…

Browse the electronic version of this collection of selected outstanding scientic results, obtained at SOLEIL in 2017.
