Take a look at the beamlines that are coming online in a video developed earlier this year to showcase the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II). See our Brookhaven scientists discussing the impressive developments at the NSLS-II beamlines – Eric Dooryhee at the X-ray Powder Diffraction beamline, Stuart Wilkins at the Coherent Soft X-ray beamline, Lisa Miller at the Submicron Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy beamline, and Yong Chu at the Hard X-ray Nanoprobe beamline – as they prepare to host their first users. 

“When NSLS-II is fully built out, we should have up to 60 beamlines. We will have the brightest synchrotron in the world,” said John Hill, director of NSLS-II, while talking about the exciting prospects to come at the facility. “We should have 4,000 users a year coming through here and they should be producing very high impact science. We really want them to transform their disciplines using experiments they’ve carried out here.”
