Queen visits super-microscope
THE Queen picked up a bit of flu today as she toured a ground-breaking giant microscope.
Luckily the virus Her Majesty was examining was a magnified model rather than the real thing.
It was shown to her at the Diamond Light Source, at Chilton, to demonstrate what scientist are able to see with the help of the facility.
The structure, which covers five football pitches, is the most advanced X-ray microscope of its kind in the world.
