In 17 presentations from Washington, D.C. in August 1994 and Chicago in August 1995, experienced practitioners provide an overview for chemists and related professionals who have not used the technique before. Within each of the three categories, they discuss such aspects as environmental, biologica

The individual papers that comprise this monograph are derived from two American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall National Meetings that focused on the current uses of synchrotron radiation (SR) research techniques. The first Symposium was held in Washington, DC, in August 1994, and the second convened in Chicago, IL, in August 1995. The intent of these symposia was to present a broad overview of several current topics in industrial, chemical, and materials-based SR research to a chemically inclined audience. The SR techniques covered were divided roughly into the three general fields of...
