【 摘 要 】

The applications of anomalous scattering for locating metal atoms and discriminating between different elements has increased when optimised with synchrotron X-radiation. A distinct trend now is the introduction of in vacuum diffractometers to serve both the life and physical sciences. Examples of applications are given. Synchrotron source upgrades will allow nanosized X-ray beams to be more widely available. The new X-ray lasers suggest new capabilities too; first applications are described and new ones suggested involving harnessing heavy atom complexes for structure determination.
