A week ago I was just starting a 5 day stint at a synchrotron to measure some threshold photoelectron spectra. Came back on Tuesday, finished a paper yesterday, submitted it today and now I'm back at Schiphol flying to London to play #catelepticrites tomorrow. This calls for a deserved airport selfie in black and white. Treating myself.
Overview of the beamline and 360° view inside the Swiss Light Source synchrotron. #pchem #experiments #research #synchrotron #astrochemistry #science
Another day at the office. Measurement apparatus of the day. #pyrolysis #synchrotron #scientist #whatdoesascientistlooklike #hastalavistababy
Not far from the Swiss Alps. No skeeing though. Just some #photoionization #experiments at #swisslightsource
Amazing
When you are your adopted machine-child play well together to solve oven problems and manage to optimize your PID settings together beautifully. The graph shows the temporal temperature profile of the oven (red) with different temperature set points (blue). It shows nicely how the final temperature is reached in undulations where the power supply adjusts the current through the heating elements to reach and maintain the set temperature. #laboratorylife #heatingelements #PIDsettings #oven #heating #temperature #experiments #physicalchemistry #astrochemistry
