title: Synchrotron radiation applied to the microscopical examination of solid state and biological materials in the X-ray region.
abstract: The paper describes the properties of synchrotron radiation and makes some comparison with other X-ray sources. The use of synchrotron radiation for various types of X-ray imaging is discussed with reference to specific examples drawn from work carried out recently at the SERC Daresbury Laboratory.
