The National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory in
New York, is a national user research facility funded by the U.S.
Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Science. The NSLS operates
two electron storage rings: an X-Ray ring and a Vacuum UltraViolet (VUV)
ring which provide intense light spanning the electromagnetic
spectrum from the infrared through x-rays. Each year over 2500 scientists
from universities, industries and government labs perform research at the
NSLS.
