...Opened in July, the machine is an enormous, $A220 million microscope, built by the Victorian government with funding from research bodies and governments in Australia and New Zealand.

In the era of ever-shrinking gadgets, this machine stands out - 67 m in diameter, it's roughly the size of a football field. Yet it's so sensitive that the temperature inside the building that houses it must be kept within a degree either side...
...five existing beamlines will swing into use from this month, when the first group of selected research teams arrive from Australia and New Zealand to tap into synchrotron radiation, which covers a broad spectrum including infrared, visible light and X rays.
