Cryostat / Cryostat / Omar Ab Aziz

I volunteered to work at the BU NanoHeat Lab during May and June 2016. My main responsibility was to design and build a cryostat that would enable them to measure a sample's temperature under very low pressures.
The main challenge of this project was to ensure the chamber is sealed properly while being constrained to machining methods available at the student workshop(to cut costs). The design changed from having a cap at the end to being two distinct pieces because our workshop could not machine something with that deep a hole. I used O-rings to seal the cap and lens, and forming gasket where the two large pieces are to be screwed together.
