Calibration of the Magnetic Field

The MFD magnetic field was calibrated on January 29th, 2002 at the University of North Florida under the supervision of Professor Tom Pekarek.  The field strength in the center of the experiment area was 300 Gauss.  The field strength was reasonably consistent from the bottom of the lower petri dish to the top of the upper petri dish in the experiment area.
