Cavities in stereo

7 July 2011 Users can take a virtual tour through the European XFEL tunnel, currently under construction, walking through the newly planned facilities to get an idea of its space and future working conditions. The nine-cell structures of pure niobium are designed to speed up the electrons at DESY's FLASH, the European XFEL, and the ILC. The picture was taken in DESY’s IPP stereo projection room, where it is possible to project and view three-dimensional models on a 1:1 scale. Category: Image of the week | Tagged: ,
