SOLEIL welcomes the 10 000th user!

Friday, September 7^th, 2018: what a great day for Synchrotron SOLEIL! After 10 years of light with our users (SOLEIL welcomes them since 2008), we were very happy and excited to welcome our 10 000^thuser, i.e. the 10 000^thdifferent person coming to perform an experiment, Camino Martin.
