Pneumatic Freeze Clamp: |
|||
| This device allows measurement of metabolite concentrations (sugars in the Calvin and Krebs cycles, etc.) from an rapidly frozen piece of leaf tissue sampled at a known rate of photosynthesis (measured as carbon dioxide uptake rate while in the freeze clamp device). |

Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) Holder: |
|||
 |
 |
||
| Fabrication (boring operation) of PMT holder. | PMT holder installed on time-of-flight mass spectrometer. | ||
Graham Flint Telescope Assembly: |
|||
| The telescope will be the receiver for a novel astronomical Lidar System. Lidar measures extinction of starlight in our atmosphere. |
