My task this summer holiday is to redo the science dept. inventory [yawn] God, we've got some crap-lol!
Here is an ancient piece of physics epqt.-apparently it's a spectrophotometer?!?
A close up photo featuring the logo of the triode amplifier manufacturer, Continental Electronics. This piece of equipment provides power for one of the segments of Fermilab's LINAC (linear particle accelerator)
Set Description: For fun, myself and a group of friends took a grade-school like field trip of Fermilab, the nation's biggest particle physics laboratory and home of the Tevatron particle accelerator. Here are some photos.

Icy Bodies: Trockeneis, festes Kohlendioxid bei -78° Celsius, hat die bemerkenswerte Eigenschaft, beim Erwärmen nicht zu schmelzen, sondern gleich gasförmig zu werden – und zwar recht explosiv. Also schiessen rundum Gasstrahlen aus dem Stückchen, sodass es nicht untergeht (obwohl es eine höhere Dichte hat als Wasser), sondern herumtreibt und sich zu drehen beginnt. Das herausgeschleuderte Gas kühlt die Luft ab, ihr Wasserdampf kondensiert zu weissem Nebel – ein ähnliches Schicksal wie dem eines Kometen in Sonnennähe.

"Blinded by the Light"
Contrived
This picture, taken at a Nine Inch Nails concert, illustrates a lens flare of a purple light. When the light from this stage light projected through the lens of the camera, there are a couple of things that may have happened to it that to cause this phenomenon. Internal reflection may have occurred in the lens before it transferred the image. Internal reflection is when the light entering the lens hits at a large angle away from the normal. The light reflects inside of the lens before it exits at a different angle than the rest of the rays from the object making it much brighter. Another reason lens flares occur is due to aberrations in the material that the lens is made of. An aberration is a defect in the surface or material of the lens. This defect may send the light scattering in a different way than the rest of the image, causing the flare to occur. If you'll notice, there is a flare around the source of the stage light, and several smaller flares as you move down and to the left. These smaller flares help show that the lens is also diffracting the purple light, breaking it apart into its components.

The ultimate aim of coming for tuition classes is to score an ‘A’ for the GCE A level Physics examination.
Form a group of minimum 3 students for customised physics tuition programme and venue of your choice!

"Reflecting on Islamic Architecture"

This is a photograph of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. When light is reflected on the smooth surface of the water, it is called specular reflection. The law of reflection can be applied to this photograph because the angle at which the light rays hit the water is equal to the angle at which the light rays are reflected off the water. The fortress is reflected onto the water in exactly the same size and shape because the calm water acts as a plane mirror. Imagine yourself looking into a full-length mirror. The image you see in the mirror is the exact same size and shape of the real you. You also appear to be “behind” the mirror because your image is virtual. These are the properties of a plane mirror, and are exhibited in the same way in this photograph of the Alhambra.

The telescope has a Cassegrain design. Seen here is the instrument cube beneath the primary mirror, and the secondary mirror above.
Students in physics lab use a laser in conjunction with a wire loop device built by science technician Jerry Goodin to measure strength of electric current.
