the Swiss Light Source

This week I was on the SLS to be impregnated with their knowledge. I will do a report for my Alba's comrade, and a seminar is possible. Preliminary, the SLS building is constructed with wood (not the tunnel that is made of concrete).
We saw four beamlines (PX I, Super XAS, cSXAS, and LUCIA). But it was a work trip and much of the photographs taken are about hutch lockers, motors, monochromators, Pilatus detectors,... All of this things has to be explained one by one.

On the left, there are the Pilatus detector protected by a metallic sheet. When the beam is on, the X-Ray comes from the right side and the sample place is in the centre of this image (sometimes cooled).

But when the beam is on, you cannot come in to change the sample and that why something like this robotic arm in need.
