The next Inside Diamond open day will feature stalls and activities, a short introduction to Diamond and a tour of the machine. We expect the visit will last around two and a half hours. Booking for open days opens 6-8 weeks in advance of the event. Click here for more details.
Microfluidic techniques have developed rapidly, and are increasingly finding wide ranging application in both biology and chemistry. Coupled to the ever decreasing beam sizes and increasing flux levels of modern third generation synchrotron sources, they are extending the capacity of synchrotron radiation for studies which exploit concentration variation, flow characteristics of next generation materials and fast dynamics
