Keep 'em coming! Working in a place like those posted was, and still is, my very childhood dream.

Took this of the Quantum Optics Lab (don't know if I'm allowed too but the supervisor is a cool guy):

Yes, I used to use that line on Tsu all the time.

I would post a pic of my lab but I am a theoretician semi... so would a pencil and paper do

Our He-3 cryostat with 16T magnet at the bottom. You can also see a little bit of a liquid helium level sensor that I built into the cryostat which I adorned with the school colors - Scarlet & Gray.

As long as the pencil is some kind of high power laser and the paper is some human being
Think you can manage that?

Actually it's just the bottom half of the corner. I share that corner with another grad student - he has the top half, where he runs some kind of anti-gravity experiments.Ivan Seeking said:

Okay, you got me.Has the anti-gravity caused any problems, or is it well collimated?

Great tag line. I hope Isackson's 'Einstein' on the desk there was inclination. I certainly enjoyed it.

Impressive collection. You are a considerably more advanced theoretician than NoobixCube... NoobixCube are you sure your not a primary school teacher?

Here are some more pics. A friend is a good photographer and has an awesome camera so without revealing too much of our labs (a requirement) guess what these represent:

That's part of a laser system. We have a similar Ti-Sapphire laser from Spectra Physics with 2 YAG lasers going through a TSA.

OK, so now it's my turn. Identify the copper thingy with the tubes sticking out of it. :)

That looks bloody awesome.
Yeah, my guess too is something to do with a particle accelerator/collider... The copper tubing is being cooled by whatever is flowing through those hoses...? I'm really curious as to what the whole setup is/does.

After googling for "particle colliders" I'm taking a guess the rings are "Damping Rings" or an "RF Cavity"?
