I wasn't able to see #TheBeam at #DiamondLightSource visually but I was able to pick it up faintly on photos. I was located in a muddy farmer's gate entrance on the outskirts of Tackley, 30 miles away as the crow flies from #HarwellCampus so I'm amazed I got it at all! Canon 1100D with 50mm lens

A study of structural effects on the focusing and imaging performance of hard X-rays with 20–30 nm zone plates
This work reports the structural effects on the focusing and imaging efficiency of 20–30 nm-resolution zone plates at Diamond Light Source and Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The zone width and the duty cycle were optimized using a modified beam-propagation method for peak efficiency, and the effect of residual resist was also explored using simulation and experimental measurements.

Last week some of our A-Level Science students had a rare & exciting visit to #DiamondLightSource. Diamond is a particle accelerator that uses a beam of electrons travelling at almost the speed of light to create intense, powerful beams of light! What a brilliant day.
