'''X-rays''' are high-energy photons. They can be used for [[scattering]] experiments, because their wavelike nature causes interference from scattered radiation. Their small wavelength makes them ideal for probing small length-scales (atomic, molecular, and nano), while their high-[[X-ray energy|energy]] allows them to penetrate through samples.

==Production==
X-rays can be generated in labscale instruments; e.g. using a rotating anode (see [[Copper K-alpha]]). High-flux x-ray beams can be generated using [[synchrotron]]s.
