Lab Equipment List

Here's a partial list of EOI's lab equipment. The list is heavily weighted towards electronic stuff, but we also have a very complete set of high precision optical and optomechanical parts: mounts, translation and rotation stages, lenses, prisms, modulators, detectors, lasers, and fibres, for a start. This lets us try out new ideas quickly and build test setups to verify them.

If you're also a fan of classical equipment, you can download manuals at Agilent and Tektronix, liberatedmanuals.com, BAMA, Kurt's manuals, and K04BB. KE5FX's GPIB Tools are pretty serviceable and also free.
