Physics images can be presented in a way that exploits the pattern recognition abilities of the human eye and brain. This display for the ATLAS detector for CERN's Large Hadron Collider simulates the hits made by particles crossing successive planes of sensors. The tracks are difficult to discern in this radial "explosion" (left). However, a display interposing annular screens where there are no hits makes them easier to see (right).
