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.
