Laboratories
Fisher Hall B004
B004 hosts a large optical table with a safety enclosure for safe laser operation.
New cabinets and desks have been installed in the summer of 2011, as part of a general Fisher Hall lab renovation.
A shared hood and space for securing gas cylinders is available in an adjacent lab.
Fisher Hall B022
Currently, in B022 we perform tests on levitated and pendant droplets and work on diode lasers for photoacoustic applications
