Artist's Concept of the Sorting Mechanism (IMAGE) Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Caption Artist's concept of the sorting mechanism. Conformers with a larger dipole moment (marked blue) are deflected stronger than those with a smaller dipole moment (marked red). This way, one type of conformers can be picked and lead seperately to react with the ultra cool calcium ions.
