As we approach the temporary shutdown for the SLS 2.0 upgrade this autumn, PSI scientist Nicola Casati looks back on 22 years of scientific excellence in materials science using synchrotron radiation at the Swiss Light Source SLS. Starting from an already remarkable feat of measuring 50000 samples in a week, the collaboration between SLS scientists and industry pushed this count to an astounding 10000 samples a day. A crucial factor in achieving this milestone was the implementation of automated shaking to randomise the samples. This innovation has translated not only into the generation of high-quality data but also into significantly increased throughput, thus opening the door to broader accessibility to synchrotron measurements.
