This is the structure that houses the ULT-SPM. The frame is made of solid wood (ash, like baseball bats) and sits on three active air cushions to prevent any external mechanical vibrations from entering the system. |

Shown here is the dilution insert that fits down inside the magnet and will eventually support the AFM body. |

The homemade Gas Handeling System. Analogous to the human body's circulatory system, this unit controls the flow of Helium 3 and 4 through the refrigerator. |

A shot of the AFM body being machined by the CNC tool in the machine shop. The body is made of the glass ceramic Macor and is only about 2 inches in diameter, small enough to fit inside the bore of the 16 T magnet. |
