A video tour of the ISIS facility
See how neutrons and muons are produced in an animated overview.
Accelerate this: a tour around the synchrotron
The synchrotron is a vital component of ISIS. Without its supply of protons, the production of a neutron beam would be impossible. Dr John Thomason, Synchrotron Group Leader at ISIS, took Laura Makin-Isherwood on a tour of the synchrotron hall.
Backstage Science: Engin-X
Ania Paradowska and Joe Kelleher explore the Engin-X beam line, explaining how it works and its many uses.
Backstage Science: How to make neutrons
Martyn Bull gives us a tour of ISIS, showing us where the neutrons are made and how this happens
Backstage science: ISIS target
Leslie Jones gives us a sneaky peek at the ISIS target, a piece of heavy metal the size of a packet of digestives.
Backstage Science: ISIS WISH animation
This short animation shows how WISH, a neutron diffraction instrument, works.
Backstage science: Muons
Dr Philip King explains the mystery of that exotic particle, the muon. He explores how they are produced, what we do with them and why these 'spy particles' are useful!
Backstage Science: Nanoscience Q & A
Sean Langridge tells us a bit about being a scientist at ISIS.
Backstage Science: Neutrons and Nanoscience
Sean Langridge and Sarah Rogers explore instruments and beamlines at ISIS.
Backstage Science: Polaris
Dr Martyn Bull shows us around a new instrument being constructed at ISIS, the Polaris. He explains how it works and what it is about this instrument that makes it so special!

Martyn Bull shows us around the powerful magnets that control ISIS's beam of neutrons
Building the Polaris instrument at ISIS
Steve Hull, Jon Randall and Ron Smith talk about the Polaris instrument at ISIS, one of the most advanced neutron instruments in the world.
Inside the ISIS linear particle accelerator
The ISIS linear accelerator is only opened up every few years. This is a rare chance to take a look inside and see what it takes to keep a high-tech piece of technology gleaming.
Installing the Polaris supermicroscope at ISIS
On November 11 2011, the £5 million Polaris instrument was installed at ISIS.
