In order to achieve a high quality optical surface in all applicable positions of the telescope, a new support, or mirror cell, for the primary mirror will be necessary.

This is taken through a fiber optics microscope. It's down inside the nest.

Could you put your hand up if you wear glasses or contact lenses, or you've had laser refractive surgery?

You've got to get down there on your back, in front of a mirror, full length preferred. You've got to get in the perfect position, with the perfect light, which then becomes shadowed by the angle you're at.

In order to achieve a high quality optical surface in all applicable positions of the telescope, a new support, or mirror cell, for the primary mirror will be necessary.

The mirror was still being ground and polished, resting on an 18 point support just as in the future telescope cell.

And in addition, we've actually used polarizers on all the lights just like polarized sunglasses can block the glare off of the road, polarizers can block the shine off of the skin, so we don't get all those specular reflections to take this map.

MY GLASSES MADE EVERYTHING LOOKBLACK!

Photometric telescopes will be dealt with initially and then extended to spectroscopy.

Specular

Active optics, computer assisted polishing and ion shaping of mirrors, and silicon carbide mirror technology were typical examples of applications of new technologies for astronomical optics manufacturing.

The project included the design and manufacture of a new optical system for the 1.88 metre telescope tube.

Two groups are involved in the detection and observation of debris objects from the ground using optical telescopes.

Blood tests, stomach acid tests, Xrays and more...

The beam splitters and lenses are represented by physical objects, and the system projects down the laser beam path.

For the mirror?

This is the way a living cell looks down a light microscope.

Now, this is a spectroscope, OK, on my laboratory bench.

Beads that sparkle like a prism Snake oil for your rheumatism

If it's elliptical, you can make an astigmatic lens.

The use of other telescopes in Japan has also been found to be promising.

That must be what she feels when she catches the sunlight in her prisms.

The new optics will be integrated into the nearly 30 year old Kottamia telescope, and first light is expected in early 1997.

Moonlight can play odd tricks upon the fancy, and suddenly it seemed to me that light came from the windows.

Don't take it wrong.

Now, if we turn the polarizers around just a little bit, we can actually bring that specular reflection of the skin back in, and you can see she looks kind of shiny and oily at this point.

Spectroscopic, photometric and polarimetric observations are essential to interpret the physical properties of the systems.

The system is composed of a Nd Yag laser, a light beam expander, a telescope, a CCD camera, a photo multiplier and a computer.

In other words, I ve taken off the shelf components, and I ve made a spectroscope.

And then when you add the lens to that, you can bundle the light and send it to wherever you need it without any need to spill any light to the sky or anywhere else.

It's just a mirror.

An ordinary mirror.

The mirror materials were made from schott zerodur to ensure superb optical quality in the temperature range for observations.

A special optical system would be used for passive control of image scales and stability of the telescope components.

This technology works by introducing a mirror into the telescope optics system that's continuously changing to counteract what the atmosphere is doing to you.

You shall not budge!

In the beginning you see the ants just kind of engaging with the fiber optics microscope.

XMM (X ray Multi Mirror) for X ray spectroscopy of cosmic objects

But men those opaque windows they are always speaking to me.

So we, we've looked at articulating mirrors of the facade that can throw shafts of sunlight anywhere into the space, therefore allowing you to shade most of the glass on a hot day like today.
