Electronics workshopThe electronics workshop manages all the electronics equipment in the teaching and research laboratories at the both of the School of Chemistry's precincts at the Masson building and at Bio 21. Staff are also responsible for regular electrical testing of equipment. The workshop also undertakes a limited amount of work for other departments.
The workshop manages a large volume and diverse range of equipment. The equipment maintained includes X-Ray Diffractometers, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), various spectrophotometers, LASER systems, Electron Spin Spectrometer, pH and conductivity meters, various heating apparatus, Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) and potentiostats. The staff who maintain this equipment possess a broad range of expertise, including advanced electronics design, manufacturing and equipment modification.
Novel designs undertaken by workshop staff include: repetitive accurate determination of steel ball position displacement in a pressurised rolling ball viscosity apparatus, various single liquid drop generator apparatus, modulus n PLL system for LASER locking, solenoid valve pulse systems and a specialised stepper motor control system with firmware to control LCD and press buttons. |
