Advanced Lab

 

 

Advanced Lab is the training ground for research scientists. You will find a variety of experiments ranging from the classics, such as Cavendish's famous gravitation experiment, to experiments associated with current research, such as scanning electron microscopy and plasma spectroscopy.

General Physics Lab

General Physics labs are seen as a starting point for laboratory work. Experiments investigate mechanics, heat, electric circuits, quantum spectroscopy and optics. While performing the experiments you will learn analytical methods and use analytical software that physicists use in their research.
