Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron science facility approached LG Motion to design and manufacture a customised beamline detector positioning system.

The system illuminates miniscule crystal samples with an X-ray beam and the detectors are positioned to a precision of just a few tens of microns to capture scattered light that reveals the complexities of protein structure and their functions.
