Inside the UK's biggest synchrotron light source
Scottish scientists at Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron facility, are working with light that is 10 billion times brighter than the sun.
Their work is illuminating everything from cells in the human body to aircraft components.
The facility near Didcot, Oxfordshire, uses much research from universities in Scotland.
BBC Scotland's science correspondent Kenneth Macdonald takes a closer look.
