is particularly funny.
While technically true, it is about as meaningful as strobe marketing material.
Yes, it is 11,000 watts, or joules/sec - but only for a billionth of a second. So it sounds a whole lot more impressive than it is.
Also, given that the event window is somewhere between 1ns and 2ns, the 25ns frame rate seems a bit slow really. Sort of like trying to shoot sports with a Rebel.

| Yeah, I used to have one of those, but it got a little heavy toting around. I eventually traded it off for a 70-200 2.8 zoom and some baseball cards. |

Where can you really get one of those. It would probably be fun to play with. Kinda like a Holga or something. |

Kick Ass! I love physics! Go Schrodinger! The images produced in a particle accelerator are awsome.
