SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, is a DOE scientific user facility sponsored by the Basic Energy Sciences Program and operated by Stanford University. SSRL produces intense x-rays as a resource for scientists to study the world at the atomic and molecular levels, enabling research and advances in energy production, environmental remediation, nanotechnology, new materials, and medicine. SSRL operates approximately nine months each year, reliably delivering more than 97% of scheduled X-ray beam time.
BER Resources at SSRL
- Stanford-SLAC Cryo-EM Center: cryo-electron microscopy
- Structural Molecular Biology Resource: solution X-ray scattering (SAXS), X-ray fluorescence imaging, X-ray macromolecular crystallography (MX), X-ray spectroscopy
