We demonstrate that a simple and inexpensive plastic refractive lens may be used to collimate synchrotron radiation. The divergence of an 18.5 keV beam of radiation from an undulator at SPring-8 is reduced from 11 μrad, full width at half maximum, to less than 3.5 μrad, while preserving 75% of the incident intensity.
