Our technical expertise:
 |
Experienced
in taking instrumentation projects from the idea conception stage,
through the science and engineering stages, to the final characterization of
the instrument.
|
 |
Work
and prioritize well in a multi-discipline environment.
Projects involve the disciplines in physics, optics, electronics,
software, and mechanical engineering.
|
 |
Hands
on experience in designing and building precision instruments. (See Projects
for more detail.)
|
 | Strong
programming skills in LabVIEW. Develop
sophisticated and professional looking instrument control software. (See Software
for more information.) |
 |
Build
and integrate instrumentation electronic hardware with computers through
data acquisition, image acquisition or motion control boards.
