Conceived
for a worldwide audience of students, scientists
and industrialists, the CD-ROM "Exploring
Matter with Synchrotron Light" - 2nd edition - invites
you to participate in a virtual tour of a synchrotron,
it explains how a synchrotron works and details
the innumerable applications.
Widely used in the most
advanced fields of research in physics, chemistry,
biology, medicine and materials science, synchrotron
light has participated in many of the greatest
scientific discoveries of our times such as
molecular biology and nanotechnology.
|
|
| |
| Even though this research instrument
is now indispensible to researchers, the Synchrotron
Light still remains an enigma to the general
public. |

| Its interactivity and multiple-entry
points permit each and every visitor to explore the
CD-ROM according to their
own knowledge and curiosity. Numerous animated images
give the visitor the opportunity to vary specific parameters
and to follow the results. In this way the visitor becomes
involved in a virtual experiment. |

The second edition
of the "Exploring Matter with Synchrotron
Light" CD-ROM encyclopedia was released
in January 2004, including the presentations of the
ESRF (France), APS (USA), CLS (Canada) and SOLEIL
Synchrotron (France), in addition to content updates. |
