Have you signed up to take a photo in 2017 for the Daily Image From Fermilab? If not, consider joining the 100-plus people at the lab who have contributed to our 50th-anniversary yearbook at DIFF.
You can sign up to take a photo any upcoming day this year. Or, if you’ve taken a photo at Fermilab recently, submit it to DIFF. It’s our way of capturing Fermilab in photos as it turns 50.
Enjoy this selection of photos from July. You can view the full collection on either diff.fnal.gov (viewable only on the Fermilab site or via VPN) or at 50.fnal.gov. Click on the magnifying glass (visible on mouseover) to view photos in full.
