Scientific Research Facilities: A National Resource
This 44-page booklet describes seventeen highly sophisticated
user facilities that enable scientists to carry out
experiments that they cannot otherwise perform at their own research institutions.
These major facilities are synchrotron radiation light sources, high-flux neutron sources,
electron beam microcharacterization centers and other specialized centers which allow
researchers from a wide variety of disciplines to examine their samples in unprecidented
detail using leading-edge research equipment and the expertise of the resident facility
staff.
