You will find here a set of short MPEG-4 movies illustrating typical neutron experiments performed at the ILL or presenting some aspects of a specific instrument.
Part of these documents can also be found in the CD-ROM "Exploring matter with neutrons / Explorer la matière avec les neutrons".

NOTE
- Windows users :
A MPEG-4 aware application is required
- we suggest using a recent version of QuickTime (mandatory for viewing some other documents on this web site).
- an alternative is a free plug-in like "ffdshow" added to Windows Media Player.
- Mac OS X users :
Check that your version of QuickTime is recent enough (i.e. 7 or higher)
