The fact is that the synchrotron is just a research tool, and the vast majority of synchrotron centers around the world aim only to provide scientists with equipment for experiments, and don't attempt to carry out research themselves. But because there is not a widespread understanding in Taiwan about how to apply the synchrotron in research, the center formed its own research division to carry out research at the facility.
其實，同步輻射加速器只是一項實驗工具，國際上大多的同步輻射中心只定位在提供實驗設施的角色，本身不背負科學研究的責任，可是鑑於國內目前對使用同步輻射做研究的風氣還未普及，中心便自設研究組，進行研究工作。
