Experimental Setup (IMAGE) Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Caption A beam of mixed conformers (red and blue) is focused and fed into the small slit between rod and trough of the sorting machine. The conformers leave the apparatus in slightly different angles, depending on their dipole moment. This way they can be directed into an ion trap separately, where they react with ultra cool calcium ions.
