Synchrotron light sources have presently gained considerable importance in life sciences, materials, semiconductors and other fields. High intensity X-ray and extreme ultraviolet light is created by high-speed electrons in the synchrotron storage ring which is then directed by specialized mirrors to experimental outstations where the actual research and measurements are done.
