Sirius is one of the most advanced synchrotron light sources in the world. The beamlines are the experimental stations where the materials are analyzed. They are like complex microscopes that focus the synchrotron radiation so that it illuminates the samples being studied and allows the observation of their microscopic properties. Curious?
