Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the hardware associated with synchrotron radiation research. Of course, the major piece of equipment is the source itself—the synchrotron or storage ring. We discuss the characteristics of these two types of source and list those in operation and in construction throughout the world. The research facilities attached to the source are also discussed, particularly the beam channels and associated equipment to conduct the radiation from the ring to the experimental station. Lastly, we discuss the specialized instrumentation of synchrotron radiation research; particularly the equipment that has been developed to collect, monochromatize, and focus the radiation onto an experimental sample and then to detect the transmitted, diffracted, or re-emitted photons or secondary electrons produced.
