Electronics and Optics Lab


Shown here is the department's electronics and optics lab, which houses electronics workstations and several optics experiments.  In the picture are Amy Sandt ('00) and LisaAnn Herpok ('01), working on a lab for their Physics for Life Sciences class.

Here are images of experimental set-ups which are performed in the upper level Optics course:
