Charged Particle Optics Consultancy Services. |
The personnel of CPO have considerable expertise in designing systems
in charged particle optics
Dr Nick Bowring has acted as a consultant to several companies and has
written over 15 refereed
papers on original work in instrumentation and charged particle optics. He
offers consultancy
services in these areas and also in:
Developing dynamically linked libraries that interface to CPO programs, in C++ or Fortran.
Writing data translation software in C++ or Fortran.
Developing data analysis programs for scientific data.
Developing code for embedded controllers.
For further details contact Dr Nick Bowring.
