The digital microscopes that CellaVision produces today use a mechanical auto focus when capturing cell images. This requires the camera objective to be vertically positioned with a precision of 0.4 µm in order for the objects in the images to be considered properly focused. Because of the small distances, the system is sensitive to vibrations and errors due to mechanical imperfections are hard to

Vatten är en nödvändighet för ett funktionellt samhälle. Grundvatten är, förutom yt- och havsvatten, en av de stora resurser som vi använder för att tillgodose vårt vattenbehov. Globalt varierar världens vattenanvändning och tillgängligheten av dricksvatten, där en stor andel har någon form av problem med att upprätthålla en god vattenstatus med avseende på vattenkvalitet och kvantitet. Även i SveWater is a necessary resource for a sustainable society. Groundwater is one of our supplies for potable water, other than surface- and seawater.

Den mekansika konstruktionen av en baklucka till en bil är relativt enkel. Bakluckan roterar kring sina gångjärn likt en pendel och hålls antingen stängd eller öppen. När bakluckan hålls öppen görs detta normalt med hjälp av gasfjädrar. Detta examensarbetet har behandlat situationen då bakluckan är så stor och gasfjädern så stark så att resten av fordonet blir synligt påverkad av kraften som dessaThe purpose of this thesis is to analyze the construction of a hearse made by Adiga on account for Nilsson Special Vehicles, NSV. The vehicle suffers from deformations in the rear as a result of mismatched gas springs and in side doors when these are kept open. Virtual models of side doors and rear are prepared in Catia and then analyzed in Ansys. For the tailgate, the minimum necessary force in

Klimatet genomgår för närvarande förändringar. Kunskap om klimatpåverkan rörande grundvattenbildning är bristande, men med hjälp av klimatsimuleringar och vattenbalansberäkningar kan prognoser göras för att få insikt om vad som kommer att ske. Klimatförändringar inom Östergötlands län som antas ske är en för-längd växtperiod, ökad medeltemperatur samt förändrade nederbördsmönster, vilket kan leda The climate is currently changing. Knowledge about how climate changes affect groundwater formation is lacking to a large degree, but with the aid of climate simulations and water balance calculations can forecasts be made to gain insights on what is likely going to occur.
