The test signal generator that Jingo Bozzini built helps researchers save a lot of time in developing the novel microscope. (Photograph: Fabio Merino) This doesn't happen often: For his final project, an electronics apprentice at ETH Zurich produced a test device that will save physicists a lot of time in developing a novel microscope. His work has been published in a scientific journal. Integrated into the research group . Apprentices also have to prepare a detailed schedule for their IPA. "Testing the generator and documenting the work took longer than planned," Bozzini recounts. This was mainly because he had written his work - as is common in research - in English and using LaTeX, a software program.
