Abstract
The compact synchrotron X-ray source, HELIOS built by Oxford Instrumen ts, was commissioned at IBM's Advanced Lithography Facility at Fishkil l New York in 1991. Key features and specifications for HELIOS are des cribed, emphasising the unique features of this storage ring X-ray sou rce. The performance of the first machine is outlined, based on almost two years' routine operation, identifying key factors such as output flux, beam lifetime and reliability. A description of the second HELIO S and enhancements to its performance is included.
