Insertion device

An insertion device is a specialized component used in facilities like particle accelerators to generate intense, highly focused beams of radiation such as X-rays. It consists of a series of carefully arranged magnets that cause high-energy electrons to oscillate, emitting synchrotron radiation as they pass through. This radiation is then used for advanced scientific research, including materials analysis, medical imaging, and biological studies. The insertion device enhances the brightness and intensity of the radiation, making it a crucial tool for researchers needing detailed insights at microscopic levels.
