The electronics shop, in concert with the other technical
support facilities, produces a vast array of very specialized, sophisticated
research equipment and systems for the Psychobiology/Neuroscience group
at Florida State University. They specialize in designing and producing
equipment that is not commercially available. Conceptual design and prototype
development by Biomedical Engineer, Ross
Henderson , is followed by printed circuit board design and fabrication
by Electrical Engineer Paul Hendrick
, using advanced CAD systems. Implementation of our print-etch printed
circuit board (PCB) fabrication facility and our computer numerically
controlled (CNC) PCB drilling facility along with the design and fabrication
of specialized enclosures and power supplies completes the development
role of this shop. They also serve as the primary interface between the
machine/instrument shop and the computer software developers.
