Microscope building starts

Nov 4th, 2016: Assembly of Microscope 1 finally begins, after waiting for renovations and supplies to arrive.

Now newly renovated, our optics table has been rigged and floated. Carly help move equipment into the new space.

And Simon has assembled several beam expanders for each of the lasers.  They’re in plastic for the moment to help protect from dust. We should start mounting these next week.
