Accelerometer calibration - and make it snappy
Sira Test and Certification has developed a fast turnaround accelerometer calibration service.
Taking place on 5-6 July 2001 in Bromley, Kent, the course is the latest in a series organised jointly by Sira and SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering.
The content is aimed at engineers and technicians needing basic practical information and techniques for aligning simple optical systems, as well as seemingly more complicated off-axis aspheric mirrors.
Presenting the course is Dr Mitchell Ruda, who is president of Ruda and Associates, an optical engineering consulting company located in Tucson, Arizona.
"This new addition to our programme marks the second year of our international collaboration on short courses with SPIE," commented Sira's head of business partnerships, Anne Burns.
To benefit most from the course, participants should have a basic knowledge of the elementary properties of lenses and optical systems and a working knowledge of simple interferometry.
Some familiarity with the basic aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma and astigmatism would also be helpful.
