Physics Department Equipment for all of our undergraduate students
This is a list of some of the equipment which belongs to the Physics Department, but this list is not exhaustive. Some of this equipment resides in our teaching labs; other is part of the professional research labs of our faculty.
(The picture [right] is Jon, working on his senior research project on our atomic force microscope.)
All of our equipment is in place for our students to use during their tenure at Stetson; some of it is equipment that would not generally be accessible to undergraduates at major universities.
