Professor DuMond's multiple crystal spectrometer lets physicists look at electrons. The machine consists of 50 spectroscopes arranged in an arc. A crystal is placed in the range of a device and then bombarded by X-rays. The X-rays batter electrons free of their atoms. The spectrometer reveals, not exactly the electrons themselves, but splashes of energy which represent the electrons...
