Highlights of the Magnetism Project.

The SAXS / WAXS beamline at the Australian Synchrotron is a highly flexible x-ray scattering facility with purpose-built optics and a very flexible endstation and SAXS camera enable multiple types of experiments.

The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.

Research indicates that the portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) is an appropriate analytical technique for determining seafood provenance at external sites.

Innovative software tool developed at ANSTO used at power stations to help maintain plant components and improve the efficiency of operations.
