The Horizontal Wadsworth Monochromator built to exploit electromagnetic radiation emitted by NINA as part of the Synchrotron Radiation<br />
Facility (SRF) established in the early 1970s. Along with other particle physics accelerators, scientists had been using the synchrotron radiation<br />
(photons), emitted by the electrons traversing around the ring at close to the speed of light, because of its unique properties. By 1975 over <strong>50</strong><br />
scientists with affiliations to more than 16 institutions were at work on NINA exploiting this by product of the particle accelerator.<br />
