High Pressure Group @ MPI-FKF

Furthermore, pressure experiments in other research groups are supported through design and maintenance of pressure equipment. </td></tr> <tr><td align="center" valign="top" colspan="4"> <a href="./docs/mem.html">[People]</a> <a href="./docs/pub.html">[Publications]</a> <a href="./docs/pos.html">[Posters]</a> <a href="http://www.mpi-stuttgart.mpg.de" target="_top">[MPI Homepage]</a> </td></tr> <tr><td align="left" valign="top"> <img src="./images/foot.gif" width="562" height="25" alt="[H-LINE]"> </td></tr> <tr><td align="left" valign="top"> <font color="Red"><b> Your browser apparently does not support frames. </b></font><p> You can access our website more easily using a more recent browser that displays framed views, e.g. Netscape 2.x or higher </td></tr> </table> </body>
