Using this apparatus, Ahmed Zewail demonstrated the principle behind his method of studying chemical reactions using laser technology. It is hard to study how chemical reactions occur in detail because they happen so quickly, in just a few femtoseconds. A femtosecond is to a second what a second is to 32 million years. Zewail explained that his technique is like making a 32-million-year-long film and then watching it second by second—a “femtofilm”!
The apparatus is installed after instructions originally given by Ahmed Zewail.
