Week 2

Week two of my internship done! This week I spent most of my time in one of three labs. We started the week off using an infrared microscope that measured the reflectance, transmissivity, and absorptivity of materials that we were looking at. Then we took the resistance of the same materials to see if what we measured in the microscope was correct. We finished the week using a screen printer and printed silver onto polycarbonate sheets that we are going to use next week in the lab.  This week at the base was the annual "Bootstrap Project" day where scientists and engineers pitch their new invention/innovation ideas to coworkers who vote on the projects they like the best and the winner receives some funding to start their project
