Extract

Given the vast superiority of synchrotron radiation sources for EXAFS and near-edge measurements, one might assume that conducting such experiments in the laboratory is a waste of time and resources. Upon more careful consideration of the realities of everyday research, however, one can easily see that this is not true. In fact, many people have come to this realization, so much so that a whole conference has been devoted to laboratory EXAFS facilities, their role in research and their relation to synchrotron facilities. The concensus after the conference was that laboratory instruments can and have been developed, with adequate performance for a variety of nontrivial experiments. They usually employ dedicated focusing spectrometers, rotating anode generators and fairly expensive monochromator crystals (see articles in ref. 1 and 2).
