LABORATORY GREENHOUSE: Extending to the south of the Phoenix building is this greenhouse, in which plants will be grown and stored for research. The University, through the Phoenix Project, is pioneering in research which uses radioactive solutions to race the paths of materials absorbed in the leaves of plants. This study is of primary importance to botanists interested in plant growth.

Gas Ionized A blinding flash turns the transparent ports white (right) as Thomas A. Leonard of Ann Arbor, a U-M doctoral candidate, presses button to vaporize a lithium wire. The resulting gas is ionized by an electrical discharge to generate a hot, high-density plasma. Scattered laser light is measured to provide information about plasma temperature and density. Leonard carries out his experiment in the Fluids Engineering building on North Campus.

Can Be Dangerous Prof. David R. Bach of the U-M nuclear engineering department operates neutrons generator (small atomic particle accelerator) in department's section of the Fluids Engineering Laboratory on the North Campus. The equipment shown accelerates duetcrons to bombard a target containing either deuterium or tritium. The resulting reaction produces high energy neutrons with well defined energies.
