An apparatus is described for selecting a single synchrotron pulse from a sequence of pulses from a synchrotron source comprising: a rotatable spindle having multiple faces of a reflective surface placed in the path of the pulses; a shutter spaced from the spindle and synchrotron source at a location to receive pulses reflected from the spindle, the shutter including a gap of substantially less width than the spacing between the spindle and shutter; the spacing of the shutter from the spindle, the rotational speed of the spindle, and the width of the gap in the shutter, all being selected so that the reflected light off the spindle moves at a speed to transmit only a single pulse of radiation through the gap in the shutter.
