Lab 5 Materials Available

PDFs for Lab 5 are available:
Lab 5 Plan of the Day
Lab 5 Microscope slide interference and metrology
Self-Assessment

This is the material that we will cover in the lab. It is different from the preparation package in the previous post. Do not confuse the lab materials with the preparation package!

On Wednesday the lab will include notebook review. Be sure you are all caught up with your notes and come ready to go over them with me for feedback on your notebook practices.

On Wednesday we will also begin designing precision stages for our Michelson interferometer experiment.

And, with luck, I will have sent some post drawings to the shop for fabrication. The luck being: there are good drawings to send on Monday, and the 1/2" stainless rod stock has arrived from McMaster-Carr.
