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 the 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.
