Readership: Researchers and graduate students in the fields of synchrotron, hard x-ray, soft x-ray, infrared laser, x-ray microscopy, x-ray imaging, XAFS, FTIR, protein dynamics, molecular mechanism, protein crystallography, fluorescent x-ray analysis, FEL, biomedical research, diagnosis, cancer therapy.

The portable accelerator - based bright light - sources "MIRRORCLE" are newly developed at Ritsumeikan University. The worldwide small light source instrumentation and applications to material and bio-medical sciences are reported in this proceedings. The unique and very sharp x-ray image obtained by MIRRORCLE is demonstrated, and IR synchrotron lights from 10 MeV version makes it possible to study dynamics and behavior of the living specimens in each level such as protein, cell, organ, and whole body.
