Portable Synchrotron Light Sources and Advanced Applications

The portable accelerator - based bright light - sources "MIRRORCLE" are newly developed at Ritsumeikan University. The worldwide small light source instrumentation and applications to material and bio-medical sciences are reported in this proceedings. The unique and very sharp x-ray image obtained by MIRRORCLE is demonstrated, and IR synchrotron lights from 10 MeV version makes it possible to study dynamics and behavior of the living specimens in each level such as protein, cell, organ, and whole body.Yamada, Hironari is the author of 'Portable Synchrotron Light Sources and Advanced Applications', published 2007 under ISBN 9780735404083 and ISBN 0735404089.
