Meet Road C’s new traffic enforcement officer.
Greetings from our home offices!
It’s a tower of power — a view of a stormcloud from Road C.
You’re viewing one of the Fermilab pi poles as it stood throughout a five-month-long period from July to November — taken with a pinhole camera.
Excavate this.
This image of the Proton Pagoda is a five-month-long exposure taken with a pinhole camera was made from an aluminum can and a sheet of photo paper. It was taken from June to November and shows the sun’s path every day in that period.
Greg Derylo took this photo using a pinhole camera fashioned from an aluminum can and a sheet of photo paper. Mounted on a fence outside Lab B facing the Fermilab bubble chamber, the camera took a 13-week-long exposure that shows the sun’s path every clear day over that period.
Soft gray and white surroundings suit the bubble chamber outside Lab B.
What is it? It’s the precision measuring head of a Zeiss coordinate measuring machine in Lab A. Coordinate measuring machines use probes, such as the one pictured above, to measure objects’ geometries. For example, you can place the probe inside a cylinder to measure its diameter and out-of-roundness.
