False-color images display the velocity distribution
of the cloud of rubidium atoms at (a) just before the appearance of
the Bose-Einstein condensate, (b) just after the appearance of the condensate
and (c) after further evaporation left a sample of nearly pure condensate.
The field of view of each frame is 200 x 270 micrometers, and corresponds
to the distance the atoms have moved in about 1/20 of a second. The
color corresponds to the number of atoms at each velocity, with red
being the fewest and white being the most. Areas appearing white and
light blue indicate lower velocities. Images courtesy of Mike Matthews,
JILA research team.
