Molecular - Synchrotron

Question 1

Electron generation

Answer 1

Electron gun - e- produced by heated filament (cathode) and pulled a hole the size of human hair by electron field.

Question 2

Linear accelerator

Answer 2

Electron beam cut into pulses by microwaves and also speeds up to almost speed of light (.9999)

Question 3

Booster Ring

Answer 3

Moves from linac. Magnetized so bean travels in circle; energy amplified to 1.5 - 2.9 GeV - make synchrotron light from roughly IR to hard Xray

Question 4

Storage ring

Answer 4

Moves here after booster. Vacuum, magnets maintain true ring.

Question 5

Bending magnets

Answer 5

Deflect light from main beam to experimental stations

Question 6

Experimental stations

Answer 6

Able to filter, amplify and manipulate light for experiments

Question 7

Viewer

Answer 7

Able to hold a cow in the viewer. Hold object in line with a focused beam and rotate - reconstruct on computer, really fast. Canada has largest holder.

Question 8

DEI

Answer 8

diffraction enhanced imaging. Much higher resolution than other techniques. Hi def xrays, scanning surfaces (ant),

Question 9

Live specimens?

Answer 9

Can be done on live specimens at certain energy levels without any effects/

Question 10

Viewing elements

Answer 10

By matching energy levels you can excite specific elements and visualize them exactly where they are. ex Methyl-Hg deposition in eyes.
