The data acquisition, reduction and instrument control software were developed at IIA. In this document we discuss some of the experiments that can be carried out with the attainable resolution. The test results and the experiments performed are described. Realistic cost estimate of the prototype is indicated. Detailed design, expertise and the prototype instrument are available with the institute. |
