We’ve now moved some equipment into the Mesolab.  This includes the prototype Mesolab, a Coherent Chameleon Ultra II & Compact OPOVis, a Cairn Laserbank and some other nifty kit, with more on order…

After a few months of building work, the Mesolab is now constructed.  We have four working laboratory spaces: one for preparation of biological specimens, one for optical development, and two labs that will each house a Mesolens system.
