In the Beam, Science in the Fast Lane
Created for Virtual Reality, take a video journey with us as we follow a sample through a mass spectrometer.

R&D Engineering, imaging robotics engineers created the experience.
Attention Educators: To provide the virtual experience of the atomic world inside mass spectrometers to students, teachers may complete a short form here to receive a free video and educator’s guide.
