Students At Work


Opening social 2007. The company is nice but the food is essential! Thank you Diann, Nan, and the staff!

Enjoying a moveable feast in the pendulum court.

Michael Besselman paying the price of admission by introducing himself.

Jacob Albretsen entertains the rookies.

Loading a silicon wafer in an atomic force microscope (AFM). Nanocrystals are dispersed on the wafer.

Adjusting the laser on the high-resolution atomic force microscope (AFM).

Using an XUV reflectometer in the EUV sources and optics lab to characterize mirrors for the IMAGE satellite of the MIDEX mission.

Adjusting the XUV monochromator in the EUV sources and optics lab.

A Ti:Sapphire power amplifier for a high intensity laser in the high-power laser physics lab. The green light comes from the pump laser (high-power intracavitycdoubled YAG). He is wearing eye-protective goggles.

The anechoic chamber. The baffles on the wall absorb sound so that there is no acoustic reflection. (It sounds dead in that room.)

Two students in the anechoic chamber investigating viscous effects in acoustic propagation.

A student from Panama measuring resonances in an aluminum beam in the acoustics research lab.
