MAX IV Making the invisible visible

In Lund, Sweden, the creation of the world's most advanced particle accelerator and most powerful microscope, the Max IV laboratory, is being completed. It generates an unparalleled light that can solve puzzles about physical materials and chemical reactions. The construction has cost 2 billion (SEK) and the inauguration will take place later in 2015. The assignment was to depict the 275 meter long accelerator, 20 meters underground in +28 degrees together with Ph.D. Mikael Eriksson - machine director (also considered as the godfather of the machine, responsible since the first sod).
