My best ever costume was one year we had a costume party at our work (EPA lab) and we went as a quadrupole mass spectrometer. For those unfamiliar with this piece of equipment (and you must not watch CSI) the guts of the instrument is the quadrupole mass filter, which separates ions according to their mass. The quad is four stainless steel rods held parallel in a diamond shape. So we got four Polish guys (myself included) and made cylinders out of poster paper wrapped in aluminum foil. We only tied for the best costume with the Texas chainsaw massacre. So who/what was the detector? No detector , but one of our colleagues was a positive ion floating around our ensemble.
