FLO4651465: Partridge and pink flamingos - Collared pratincole, Glareola pratincola, and greater flamingo, Phoenicopterus roseus. Handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Dumont de Sainte-Croix's “” Dictionary of Natural Science: Ornithology,”” Paris, France, 1816-1830. Illustration by J. G. Pretre, engraved by Rebel, directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. Jean Gabriel Pretre (1780 ~ 1845) was painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later became artist to the Museum of Natural History. Turpin (1775-1840) is considered one of the greatest English botanical illustrators of the 19th century. / Bridgeman Images

PIX4651831: Observatory Radio du Plateau de Bure - 08/09/2002 The network of radiotelescopes of the Plateau de Bure is a millimetre interferometre designed by IRAM. Located on the Bure plateau at 2552m altitude, in the French Alps, it is currently made up of 6 antennas of 15 m diameter, each mounted on rails, which allows to change their separation distance according to needs / Bridgeman Images

PIX4650425: Overall view of the LHC experiments - Cross-section view of the LHC experiments (Large Hadron Collider). This diagram shows the locations of the four main experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) that will take place at the LHC. Located between 50 m and 150 m underground, huge caverns have been excavated to house the giant detectors. The SPS, the final link in the pre-acceleration chain, and its connection tunnels to the LHC are also shown / Bridgeman Images
PIX4650504: LHC: the world's largest time projection chamber - Peter Glassel, technical coordinator of ALICE's time-projection chamber (TPC), sits at the centre of the now completed TPC. June 2006. Peter Glassel, the technical coordinator for the ALICE time projection chamber, is seen sitting inside the detector; the largest in the world at nearly 100 cubic meters. Thousands of wires are connected to read out electronic data produced as particles are created in lead-lead collisions at the centre of the detector. These particles will cause the medium within the time projection chamber to ionise along their tracks allowing the particle paths to be recreated / Bridgeman Images
PIX4650506: LHC: work on the ATLAS detector - LHC: Work on the ATLAS semiconductor tracker barrel - Work performed on the ATLAS semiconductor trajectory (SCT) - one of the main elements of the ATLAS internal detector Precision work is performed on the semiconductor tracker barrel of the ATLAS experiment. All work on these delicate components must be performed in a clean room so that impurities in the air, such as dust, do not contaminate the detector. The semiconductor tracker will be mounted in the barrel close to the heart of the ATLAS experiment to detect the path of particles produced in proton-proton collisions / Bridgeman Images
