Senior Detector Scientist at STFC, Jens Dopke tells us about the work helping to reveal the contents of the most iconic items in a Roman-era library, the Herculaneum scrolls.

Diamond Light Source is a third-generation synchrotron light source facility based at Harwell Campus, South Oxfordshire.
Diamond produces X-ray, infrared and ultra-violet beams. These highly focused beams of light enable scientists and engineers to probe deep into the basic structure of matter and materials, answering fundamental questions about everything from the building blocks of life to the origin of our planet.

The Diamond Light Source Ltd is funded by the STFC and the Wellcome Trust, owning 86% and 14% of the shares respectively.
