 Service A Class

One fine day, I decided to bring my camera to class. My initial objective was to snap photos to remind myself of the labs done in class. Ofcourse I now have lots of pics in the lab but I will not share them with you. Instead I will share the pictures of my classmates and my class environment. I been to class for 5 weeks already. Well, what follows are privileged info for my dear friends.

 

Well, being such a high tech place and with dangerous machines, I am required to wear my ID badge all the time. The nametag identifies me as a Varian employee and that I am attending my classes. The other badge is a Radiation badge. It keeps track of how much radiation I am exposed to. At the end of the classes, they will check it to make sure I do not become Incredible Hulk.

The Electromagnetic spectrum. Life and blood of the Varian machine. Microwave propagation, RF theory, resonant frequency, photons and electrons penetration power, blah blah. Wish I paid more attention in EM 1 class.
