2005 XAFS Summer School at the Advanced Photon Source

Selected photos from the school. For more information on the school (and more pictures), see the school web page at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/xafs_school/APS_2005/

These photos give a glimpse of life on the experiment floor. Each photo was taken at a different beamline that offered beam time to the summer school students; about half the beamlines that participated are represented.

A moment away from manning the beamline controls.
