Swiss Light Source



The Swiss Light Source is a synchrotron located at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. It achieved first light on July 25, 1997.  

It has a 2.4GeV storage ring, and as of August 2007 it has fifteen stations (undulators and bending magnets) and thirteen operational beamlines. It is particularly known for the engineering quality of its instrumentation.

There are three protein crystallography beam-lines, two of which are partially funded by associations of Swiss pharmaceutical companies including Novartis, Roche, Actelion, Boehringer Ingelheim and Proteros.
