Specific information on your offers

The ESRF is the world's most intense X-ray source and a centre of excellence for innovation-driven research. The ESRF is a cooperation of 22 partner nations. Serving over 7000 academic and industrial visitors annually, its 43 beamlines are used for advanced materials characterisation far beyond conventional techniques. Synchrotron light is a flexible, precise and non-destructive probe to learn about material micro-structure and behaviour under operando conditions.
