Evropská jižní observatoř

Kategorie: E–ELT, Zpět na celou fotogalerii.

Popis (v anglickém jazyce):

The ELT will have a segmented mirror. For the adaptive optics to work properly and correct the blurring introduced by the atmosphere turbulence, the segments have to be aligned as if their were part of a single large mirror, with a nanometer accuracy (1 millionth of a mm). In order to experiment with the challenges of this alignment, the APE system will be installed on the VLT, mimicking a segmented mirror and its issues. On the image, the completed 61 segment APE mirror is ready for tests in the Garching laboratory.
