Course detail

Introduction to Design of Scientific Instruments

FSI-TKK Acad. year: 2023/2024 Winter semester

Introduction to Design of Scientific Instruments gives a basic overview of mechanical design for optical devices. Students are introduced into the computer design of mechanical systems particularly.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

6

Entry knowledge

Fundamentals of mathematics and geometry

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Student designs optical system. A short report will be classified.
Final report is controlled.

Aims

The goal of the subject is to provide students an overview of the construction of mechanical assemblies for the optical devices.
Students will acquire skills in technical drawing. They will acquire knowledge of basic machine parts, normed parts, and construction materials. In addition, they are familiar with the static design of structural components for optical systems.
