Protein analysis. Researcher checking the nanospray needle for a mass spectrometer (just seen behind him at left). This machine uses electron capture dissociation (ECD), a technique that fragments the peptide (protein subunit) ions present in the sample and enables an in-depth analysis of its protein components. Photographed at Dundee University in Dundee, Scotland.
