Job description

At NTS, we make it possible together. Technology inspires and drives us; it is our passion. Every day we work on unique solutions for complex challenges. Whether it's ultra-complex or ultra-precise solutions, we take pride in what we do and what we deliver.

Are you studying (Applied) Physics and are you looking for a company where you get the freedom and right guidance? Then choose an internship/graduation assignment at NTS Optel in Nijmegen and let's make it possible together.

Assignment: MEMS based confocal optical microscope

Micromechanical scanning mirrors have been available for some time now. They potentially offer low cost, small size and fast laser scanning. In this assignment we want to explore the possibilities of commercially available MEMS mirrors, applied to confocal microscopy.

The assignment is to design and, if time permits, build and test a confocal microscope based on MEMS scanning mirrors.

The assignment consists of the following components:

  • Literature study

  • Market scan of commercially available MEMS scanners

  • Comparing the merits of different solutions (e.g. single mirror, dual mirror, re-scan, Lissajous vs raster scan)

  • Design a setup for the most promising solution

  • Select components needed

If time permits:

  • Build a test setup in the lab

  • Experimentally verify the performance

Required skillset for the student:

  • Master/Bachelor student (Applied) Physics (university level)

  • Affinity with optics

Compensation
At NTS, we combine our passion for technology with innovative solutions to complex challenges. You will have the freedom and confidence to fully utilize and develop your talents in a dynamic and energetic environment.

For this internship/assignment we offer the following conditions:

  • Fee of €500 per month;

  • Travel allowance of €0.21 per km;
