Partner 10: ESRF, Grenoble

Partner: Professor Sine Larsen
Deputy: Dr. Sean McSweeney

The ESRF has strong research activities in all areas of Synchrotron radiation instrumentation, being a world leader in many fields. It is this breadth of experience which allows the ESRF to propose a technological development that will make possible, for the first time, diffraction experiments from sub-micron sized crystalline samples.  In order to provide the instrumentation necessary to investigate these samples, the ESRF is building up a multi-disciplinary team which will draw on the experience gained in complementary fields of research - X-ray optics, X-ray microscopy, micro & nano-tomography, surface science and nanostructures. ESRF aims to produce nano-positioning apparatus for biological molecules with somewhat broader application.  Samples for investigation will be produced in-house as part of the ESRF's biology research projects, from EMBL-Grenoble (Partner 3a). 
ESRF aims to provide the most intense and most highly automated X-ray crystallography beamlines in Europe.
