Progress is made

It has been quite quiet here, but that does not mean we are not moving things forward. It just has been a bit slower with a very full teaching timetable for the first half of the academic year and the marking season after the festive season. But with that nearing it’s end, we are looking forward to getting back up to speed with the development of the lab.

Quick update:

  • We took delivery of the laser enclosure and it is now ready for the laser system and y-z stages to go in.
  • The load frame is in place and has been tested, waiting for an adapter to get the second load cell installed.
