Facilities & Resources
Lewis Lab
Laboratory
Lewis’s brand new laboratory consists of 525 sq.ft. of work wet lab work space and 600 sq.ft. of design and fabriaction space, including areas for microscopy, wet chemistry, electronic fabrication, ultrasound computer modeling and simulation stations, ultrasound power and beam measurments, and microfabrication. The lab is designed and equipped to perform medical ultrasound research from basic science to clinical application.
Equipment
Housed within the lab space are the following equipment: fume hood, sonicator, ultrasound power meter, ultrasound calibrated hydrophones and water tank, ocilliscopes, function generators, spectrum analyzer, ultrsound pulsers, power supplys, solder and desolder work stations, degassing stations, oil vacuum pumps, impedance analyzers, Micro-milling machine stations, analytical balance, heating/cooling circulating bath, pressure and controled atmosphere oven, microinfusion pumps, computer work stations with electronic design.
Facilities are fully equipped with the latest micro-machinery and computers necessary for custom transducer design. The mechanical workshop has means for most advanced fabrication processes such as CNC machining, lapping and ceramic tooling.
