RoomSynchrotrons and synchrotron beamlines exist to provide user communities 
with a variety of techniques to allow experiments that would not be possible 
using conventional radiation sources. As storage rings are optimised for 
producing x-rays, infrared beamlines are relatively rare, although they 
significantly outperform laboratory based instruments. The SMIS beamline at 
the SOLEIL synchrotron provides cutting-edge capabilities in mid and 
far-infrared spectromicroscopy; our instrumentation is able to achieve 
spatial resolution as fine as 20 nm and accommodate scan sizes up to several 
centimeters.In this presentation I will showcase the beamline 
instrumentation, and highlight related user experiments, from physics and 
optics through material science. I will discuss environmental conditions 
supported by the beamline—including controlled pressure, temperature, 
atmosphere, and polarization—that strongly contribute to experimental 
versatility and thus the scientific output of SMIS. By discussing recent 
advancements in both near- and far-field infrared microscopy techniques, we 
will explore their implications for sub-micron and sub-diffraction limit 
experiments. Minden érdeklődőt szívesen látunk! - Everyone is welcome to
