LATE FLASH:  Dr. Palmer has officially retired from the University of Arizona as of 6/30/2004.  However, he is not going away real soon now.  He will continue to teach OPTI 400/500, as well as assist Dr. Nofziger, for the foreseeable future. Small research projects, such as refractive index measurements, will continue to be supported, and other small-scale tasks may be undertaken as well.  Hopefully this move will allow more time for preparation of various publications (“The Art of Radiometry,” etc.).
