About Us Diamond Light Source is the UKs national synchrotron radiation facility. By accelerating relativistic electrons, Diamond generates brilliant beams of light from InfraRed to X-rays, which are used for academic and industrial research and development across a range of scientific disciplines, including: medicine and biology, physics and chemistry, materials and engineering, earth and environmental sciences, as well as multi- and cross-disciplinary study such as archaeology or space science. Diamond is a leading scientific centre of excellence. Its innovative capabilities and talented staff place it at the forefront of UK and international experimental research. The Multimode IR Imaging and Microspectroscopy (MIRIAM) beamline B22 has pioneered the development of innovative IR spectromicroscopy methods, including: full-field IR microscopy using a Focal Plane Array (FPA) detector and Adaptive Optics for high-magnification imaging of living biotissue; Fourier Transform IR microanalysis for in situ/operando studies in physical and chemical sciences; and Atomic Force Microscopy via IR (AFM IR) and synchrotron microbeam for molecular characterization of soft matter at sub-micrometric spatial resolution. With the upcoming Diamond-II upgrade, B22 research in IR and TeraHertz (THz) science is expected to expand further, including THz microscopy.
