Some of the electrons have energies of 1 MeV.
The photograph was taken, with a magnetic field of 12,000 oersteds.

If you see someone slogging away, but doing it all wrong.
Please remember, a great effort, with no results,
is worth more than a great result with no effort.
The first is purchased at great cost and the latter,
in terms of cost, is worthless.
