Experiment Introductions

The Laboratory has prepared web-based Guide Sheets for selected Core experiments.

Detailed requirements to using these pages appear in each document, but in general you will need to have your browser enabled for:

• Flash animations.
• Either RealMedia or QuickTime videos.
• Portable Document Format (pdf) files.

In addition to the Experiment Introductions, documents that introduce some common laboratory apparatus have been prepared. Access appears in the Common Apparati section below.
