Caption CERN Contest Week 21

Week 21: 6/24/2015 - 9pm PDT 7/2/2015

These two CERN scientists are looking through some kind of optical apparatus. There is a plano-convex lens mounted on an adjustable arm. The scientists appear to be looking through a window while adjusting some controls.

Is this some kind of physics experiment? Could it be research into psychomotor acuity? Maybe the dark haired scientist is just getting her yearly CERN eye exam? You tell us!

This week's prize is a Teensy 3.1 from The Hackaday Store.

Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you're commenting on this contest log, not on the contest itself.

As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.

Good Luck!

Finally we got a magnifying lens for this hyperdense pixels monitor, I could barely see where Super Mario was moving before!

This photo was the test, because nobody saw the picture of Big Bird in the background. Thank me later. ;)

A popular game at the quarterly CERN sleepover was staring into the darkened mirror and repeating "Bloody Marie Curie" until her ghost appeared.

Burning stuff with the magnifying glass never gets old - you just get better equipments. Having a grant and high power accelerator at your disposable is just one perks a career at CERN has to offer. Talk to your college Career Counselor now!

During their off-time CERN programmers invented the very first point & click adventure. It was a true pixel hunt.

"Nah, the saucers can't shoot at you, but you gotta watch out for the guided missiles."

"Ah, I see," said Marietta, but she couldn't imagine why anyone would pay a quarter to blow up little green tanks that most kindergartners would be ashamed of drawing. She transferred out of the CERN VR unit shortly thereafter.
