Nowadays, they are usually immense, highly international... More Components’ Metrology and Alignment to the Nanometre scale.” If you’re still reading, you’re ready for the video:
Metrolab is proud to participate in this forward-looking European Union project. We will have the pleasure of hosting Domenico Caiazza, from the University of Sannio, Benevento, Italy, who is developing a magnetic measurement system for small apertureIn magnetism, this refers to the spacing between the poles. More magnets based on the vibrating-wire technique. Additional information on the PACMAN project can be found on the PACMAN web site and in the PACMAN brochure.
