This paper discusses ESRF, the first member of a new generation of Synchrotron Radiation Sources, in which the brilliance of the beam and the utilization of insertion devices are pushed to their present limits. This will add to the possibilities of present Synchrotron Radiation sources the capability to follow in real time structural changes in condensed matter while physical, chemical or macromolecular reactions take place. The technical challenges in the new machine are: mechanical stability in the micrometer range of a 6-GeV electron storage ring having a circumference of 850 meters, the performance of optical elements with atomic scale flatness of its surfaces under extreme radiation load, and last but not least the data handling of an enormous data flow coming from 0-, 1-, and 2-D X-ray detectors.
