Curley + Associates (GMCA), and OMSI, this unique and interactive experience showcases areas of forensic science that enabled Sherlock Holmes to solve crimes, as well as the historic underpinnings of author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's rich and vibrant stories.
Many substances absorb light. However some of them, after absorbing light of a particular wavelength and energy, emit light of a longer wavelength and lesser energy. Such substances are called âfluorescent substancesâ. Application of this phenomenon is the basis of fluorescence microscope.
SNO+ will investigate neutrinos from Earth, the sun, and even supernovae. At its heart is a huge plastic sphere filled with 800 tons of a special fluid called liquid scintillator. The sphere is surrounded by a shell of water and held in place by ropes. It's monitored by an array of about 10,000 extremely sensitive light detectors called photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). When neutrinos interact with other particles in the detector, they produce light in the liquid scintillator, which the PMTs are designed to pick up.
