      Experimental Apparatus
      Air-cooled dual-cell temperature jump apparatus which consists of two hot stages powered with electric heating bands ( Temp. range 25 deg C - 350 deg C ) and connected with a pneumatic operating bar. INSTEC heating stage (Temp. range �190 deg C - 600 deg C). 1-D position sensitive detector: 2 EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory) detectors. 2-D area detector: Imaging plate (Fuji BAS 2500); MAR CCD; EMBL multi-wire proportional chamber. Other equipment (as listed on our external webpage) availability depends on agreement with spokesperson.

      Computer System Hardware & Software
      PC based data acquisition software for EMBL detectors. Custom codes (SASDAP, WASDAP) and commercial packages (Grams32, Spyglass , Polar, TINA2.1, Image GauageV4.0 and), on the PC and the SGI workstation for preliminary analysis.
