First reflection on PLATYPUS

Today, for the first time, we reflected a neutron beam from a solid sample (silicon in air) in our PLATYPUS neutron reflectometer and observed the reflected neutrons in the area detector.  In the figure shown above, the instrument was not completely characterised and no background has been subtracted.
