The start of user operation at the Diamond Light Source in January 2007 marks a major milestone for the physical sciences in the UK. The routine delivery to the UK community of ultra-bright X-ray beams from the third-generation source has provided us with capabilities that were available previously only at international sources, and indeed has created some that are unique. Here, a personal view is given of some of the achievements to date, and possible future opportunities outlined.

I04-1 is one of the six macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamlines at Diamond Light Source (DLS), the third generation synchrotron light source in the UK. It was built and delivered in 2010 as a stable and reliable fixed-wavelength MX station. It is currently preparing to release its user programme for exploiting fragment screening using X-ray crystallography in structural medicinal chemistry projects. For this purpose, the beamline has been going through several upgrades in order to achieve unattended high-throughput ligand crystallography. The new developments are aiming at improving the flux, stability and reliability of the beamline and its auto-alignment. In parallel, a peripheral laboratory is being set up to provide a facility for medium throughput compound soaking. Jointly with the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC), a semi-automatic crystal soaking and harvesting scheme, which will provide hundreds of MX samples per day, is being tested at DLS. The beamline can currently process 400 crystals per day. However, the recent upgrades and automation should further improve that throughput. In this presentation, we will summarise the current specifications of the beamline and its new features, the development of a peripheral laboratory for compounds soaking and underline the remaining work.

This manuscript presents the current status and technical details of the Spectroscopy Village at Diamond Light Source. The Village is formed of four beamlines: I18, B18, I20-Scanning and I20-EDE. The village provides the UK community with local access to a hard X-ray microprobe, a quick-scanning multi-purpose XAS beamline, a high-intensity beamline for X-ray absorption spectroscopy of dilute samples and X-ray emission spectroscopy, and an energy-dispersive extended X-ray absorption fine-structure beamline. The optics of B18, I20-scanning and I20-EDE are detailed; moreover, recent developments on the four beamlines, including new detector hardware and changes in acquisition software, are described.

Ray Scattering

B21 is a small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) beamline with a bending magnet source in the 3 GeV storage ring at the Diamond Light Source Ltd synchrotron in the UK. The beamline utilizes a double multi-layer monochromator and a toroidal focusing optic to deliver 2 × 1012 photons per second to a 34 × 40 µm (FWHM) focal spot at the in-vacuum Eiger 4M (Dectris) detector. A high-performance liquid chromatography system and a liquid-handling robot make it possible to load solution samples into a temperature-controlled in-vacuum sample cell with a high level of automation. Alternatively, a range of viscous or solid materials may be loaded manually using a range of custom sample cells. A default scattering vector range from 0.0026 to 0.34 Å−1 and low instrument background make B21 convenient for measuring a wide range of biological macromolecules. The beamline has run a full user programme since 2013.

Geometry Measurement

The performance and emission characteristics of diesel engines are largely governed by fuel atomization and spray processes which in turn are strongly influenced by the flow dynamics inside the injector nozzle. Accurate measurement of the nozzle geometry is important for the study of the flow dynamics. Using the third-generation synchrontron radiation light source of the ShangHai Light Source (SSRF), the research team successfully captured the internal structure images of the single hole nozzle and multi-hole nozzle. According to the captured images, the researchers clearly observed the internal structure of nozzle as well as the sac region. The diameter and length of the nozzles and orifice angle were also be accurately measured.
