− | The pupose of this page is to describe the work being done in the construction of a tabletop Michelson Interferometer. The purpose of this device in the scope of the project is two fold. First, the interferometer can be used to analyze te vibrational characteristics of a diamond waffer suspended from a wire frame. Second, the interferometer can be used to study the surface profle of a diamond waffer, allowing us to see the efects that different cutting and mounting tecniqus have on the final product. | + | The pupose of this page is to describe the work being done in the construction of a tabletop Michelson Interferometer.
