Each OptoSci education kit saves the tutor significant course, literature, and hardware development effort and
includes:
- all optoelectronic hardware required to perform the experimental programme
- manuals to guide the students through the background theory and experimental programme
- an instructor's manual which contains sample results and solutions for all of the experiments and exercises
- a comprehensive set of background / lecture notes (incorporating tutorial examples, design exercises and case
studies plus solutions)
