Dear Patrick,
One such image I can remember was that of the first beam at ESRF. If
you Google for "ESRF first beam", asking for Images, the first one you get
(top left corner) is rather similar. The original one was, I think, more
dramatic than that (or perhaps I was more impressionable). It was an iconic
picture that was used on the front pages of many journals and newsletters at
the time. If someone finds it, I wouldn't mind knowing where to get a copy
of it as well.
Best of luck!
Gerard.
