Richard>>>>Are you equating IBM's XRL success or failure with JMAR's?<<<<< No - YOU are. You're the one comparing JMAR with IBM -- and it's comparing "apples and oranges". First of all, IBM is NOT producing an XRL system. They are using an OLD, ESTABLISHED, TIME-TESTED SYSTEM: SYNCHROTRONS. THIS IS NOT AN "IBM SYSTEM". JMAR, on the other hand, is producing an XRL system that no one has ever produced before. What you don't seem to understand is that JMAR has created a NEW light source using picosecond-class, diode-pumped solid state laser technology to generate X-rays. This NEW "point source" system is much smaller and more cost effective than the synchrotron system.

There is no question that IBM's XRL will succeed -- it's been in use for years (although mostly in limited situations).

Regarding your doubts about whether JMAR's system will work, or there will be a market for it -- I suggest you call the company and discuss that. It's too hot here for me to argue any more.

P.S. If anyone else would like to jump in here, please do. I feel like I've talked till I'm blue in the face, and I'm still not being understood.
