Edits to the synchrotron wikipedia page edit
Among the few synchrotrons around the world 16 are located in the United States. Many of them belong to national laboratories; few are located in universities. Among these universities, Cornell University is a pioneer in the field. [11] The Cornell University synchrotron ran in 2015 for the first time.[12] The facility is considered to be of great value for the university. The Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) [13] is utilized for X-ray optics. Unknown proteins are purified in laboratories. The proteins are then crystalized using crystallography techniques. [3] Successful crystals with the proper amount of precipitant, protein concentration, and PH are then picked and frozen in liquid nitrogen.[14] The protein crystals are transported to the facility. CHESS then shoots the protein with X rays from a fixed angle. The protein’s shadow is then recorded by the source computer and used to create an overall 3D image from multiple images taken as the shooting angle changes in small incremental angles.[15]
