Instrumentation Unit
Unit Leader: Gustavo Ceballos
Main research lines
Design, development and improvement of advanced precision instrumentation
Modification of commercial instrumentation to match particular experimental requirements
Scientific computing
Data acquisition
3D-CAD design of precision devices
Vacuum technology (HV, UHV)
Cryogenics
The unit provides scientific and technical assistance in applied physics, precision instrumentation, microengineering, nanotechnology, scientific computing and 3D-design of precision devices. Its main goal is to help address challenging instrumentation requirements in both basic and applied research.
In 2019, the unit developed several novel setups to enable new experiments in the fields of magnetometry, spectroscopy, synthesis of nanomaterials, photovoltaics and bio-sensing. The unit also participated in dissemination activities, contributing its expertise to design and build prototypes and technology demos.
