title: Historical Survey and New Opportunities in the VUV.
abstract: The recent development of synchrotron radiation science is reviewed in relation to results reported at conferences on vacuum ultraviolet radiation physics, and prospects for research in the near future are presented. Emphasis is placed on spectroscopy in the vacuum ultraviolet and soft X-ray regions. Other topics such as applications to engineering, biophysics, materials science and surface science are briefly discussed.
