| Overview |
The Life Sciences Research Facilities at NSRRC (LifeNSRRC) provide
multiple synchrotron-based experimental techniques for users to
study demanding scientific problems. These techniques include x-ray
diffraction, x-ray scattering, x-ray spectroscopy, micro-spectroscopy,
synchrotron radiation circular dichroism, and micro-imaging. We also provide professional discussions and
substantial user support; therefore, both experienced and non-experienced
users are all welcome to use these facilities through the NSRRC
proposal submitting
procedure.
