Frequently asked questions about beamtime, accommodation and the user portal.
The Macromolecular Crystallography beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron (MX1 and MX2) are general purpose crystallography instruments for determining chemical and biological structures.
Overlaying a 360° x 90° radiation image onto a panoramic optical image of the scene, makes interpretation much easier. The spectroscopic detector at the heart of the imager enables the accurate visualisation and identification of sources across a broad energy range.
Radioisotopes are widely used in medicine, industry, and scientific research. New applications for radioisotopes are constantly being developed.
International researchers have used nuclear techniques at ANSTO - a centre for food materials science - to develop a methodology that could assist in the design of oleogel systems for food applications.
The THz/Far-IR Beamline couples the high brightness and collimation of a bend-magnet synchrotron radiation to a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer providing high-resolution spectra (0.00096 cm-1) with signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 1350 cm-1 for gas-phase applications; the beamline also delivers signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 350 cm-1 for condensed phase samples.
ANSTO will be participating in a new Industrial Transformation Training Centre established and funded by the Australia Research Council to advance the use of bioactive ingredients in Australia.
ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.
The X-ray Fluorescence Nanoprobe beamline undertakes high-resolution X-ray microspectroscopy, elemental mapping and coherent diffraction imaging – providing a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy.
The Multi-wavelength absorption black carbon instrument MABI can determine the concentration and source of black carbon pollution.
Many countries around the world are investigating small modular reactors as the the newest, most innovative and versatile nuclear power solution.
Testing at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science supports an action plan just published by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) to phase out per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in fibre-based food contact packaging in Australia by December 2023.
Below lists some useful programs for data reduction, search matching, analysis and structure visualisation of diffraction data.
Stay updated with the latest news and notifications impacting ANSTO's landmark research infrastructure in both Sydney and Melbourne.
MABI instrument can determine both the concentration and source of black carbon pollution in the atmosphere.

With enhanced submicron spatial resolution, speed and contrast, the Micro-Computed Tomography beamline opens a window on the micron-scale 3D structure of a wide range of samples relevant to many areas of science including life sciences, materials engineering, anthropology, palaeontology and geology. MCT will be able to undertake high-speed and high-throughput studies, as well as provide a range of phase-contrast imaging modalities.
