Schematic representation of the major components of the Canadian Light Source. The 2.9 GeV storage ring has a circumference of 170.88 m and currently operates with a maximum current of 220 mA. The horizontal emittance is approximately 22.7 nm rad, with a vertical emittance of 0.1017 nm rad. Operational beamlines which can support structural biology and biophysics projects include the Canadian Macromolecular Crystallography Facility (CMCF) and the BioMedical Imaging and Therapy (BMIT), Mid Infrared Spectromicroscopy (MID-IR) and Biological X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (BioXAS) facilities. |
