[Synchrotron radiation techniques for structural characterisation of biological entities: an example with renal stone analysis].
This paper describes the opportunities given by the synchrotron radiation techniques regarding the structural characterisation of biological entities. After a short recall on the characteristics of the synchrotron radiation, are described the experimental devices based on fluorescence X, wide angle X-ray scattering and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which may applied for biological samples, especially in the field of stone analysis. Recent progresses in medical research using synchrotron radiation will be also discussed.
