The National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) is a 1.5 GeV third-generation synchrotron
, in the Hsinchu Science Park
about 70 km from Taipei
in Taiwan
.
There are twenty-six operational beamlines http://srrcbl.nsrrc.org.tw/servlet/..%5Cbldoc%5CBlSummary.htm and four under construction; the NSRRC also operate two beamlines at SPring-8
in Japan
. They cover a wide range of functionality, from IR
microscopy
to X-ray
lithography

Synchrotron
A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator in which the magnetic field and the electric field are carefully synchronised with the travelling particle beam. The proton synchrotron was originally conceived by Sir Marcus Oliphant...
