The Physics Electronics Shop designs and consults on analog and digital electronic instruments for
research or instructional purposes.
Designs can be submitted in person or electronically.
We encourage clients from other UW units, and will provide pre-design consulting to discuss the electronics (commercial, custom-made, or a combination of both) required to do what you need.
