Development Background
Currently, image reconstruction of amorphous samples using SPring-8 is
conducted in a three sequential steps: collection of coherent x-ray scattering
data, measurement of scattering distribution with two-dimensional detectors,
and realization of actual image with mathematical phase retrieval. Until now, researchers had to either wait until entire sample
data was collected, or spend much time analyzing the intermediate data, before
deciding to proceed with the test. The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) and
RIKEN (The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research) started construction
of SPring-8 in 1991 and completed the construction and opened the facility in
October 1997.

Synchrotron radiation is widely used in academic research/ industrial
applications, in fields such as materials science, earth and planetary
science, life science, environmental science, and medical applications,
as an innovative instrument for material analysis, and is expected to
provide further advances in many other fields.
