Third International Workshop on Imaging Techniques with Synchrotron Radiation

The Third International Workshop on Imaging Techniques with Synchrotron Radiation (ITSR2010) was held on November 6-9, 2010, in Suzhou near Shanghai, China, known as the “Chinese Venice.” This workshop follows two similar meetings held in 2008 and 2009 in Hefei and Sanya, respectively. The workshop hosted more than 60 delegates from 10 countries including China, Australia, the U.S, France, the U.K., Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Austria, and Ivory Coast. World-leading scientists presented some cutting-edge results as well as very stimulating topical reviews. The previous two meetings in Hefei and Sanya were conceived to bring experts together to help build up the user community of the recently developed Chinese synchrotron light sources in Hefei and Shanghai. The workshop in Suzhou witnessed the first, impressive results of this community, which has started using the novel facilities with enthusiasm. This series of meetings has established itself as one of the most relevant synchrotron imaging scientific meetings in China.
