You can explore this equipment before conducting your experiment using a virtual reality (VR) environment. 

By clicking on the map you will enter the control room.

Once inside you can:

  • Click and drag the mouse to explore the scenes
  • Click on the hot spots to open images/videos/information and navigate through scenes
