BESSY II - an ultimate space and time microscope
The storage ring BESSY II provides ultrabright photon beams from the long wavelength Terahertz region to hard X-rays with complete control of the polarization of the radiation and energy range. More than 50 beamlines offer a multi-faceted mixture of experimental opportunities at undulator, wiggler and dipole sources with excellent energy resolutions. The combination of brightness and time resolution makes BESSY II the ultimate microscope for space and time, since both femtosecond time and picometer spatial resolutions are available.
BESSY IIs profile is mainly science driven by its large user community. Of particular significance are the activities of the institutional users Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung, and cooperating research groups as well as the in-house activities. Owing to the radiometry lab of the Physikalisch-Technische-Bundesanstalt, BESSY II is the European calibration standard for electromagnetic radiation.
