  2. Foucault knife-edge test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_knife-edge_test

    From top: Parabolic mirror showing Foucault shadow patterns made by knife edge inside radius of curvature R (red X), at R and outside R. Foucault testing is commonly used by amateur telescope makers for figuring primary mirrors in reflecting telescopes. [5] [6] The mirror to be tested is placed vertically in a stand. The Foucault tester is set ...

  3. Folded optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folded_optics

    These optical fold mirrors are not to be confused with the observatory's deployable primary mirrors, which are folded inward to fit the telescope within the launch vehicle's payload fairing; when deployed, these segments are part of the three-mirror anastigmat design's primary element and don't serve as fold mirrors in the optical sense.

  4. Parabolic reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector

    Parabolic reflectors are popular for use in creating optical illusions. These consist of two opposing parabolic mirrors, with an opening in the center of the top mirror. When an object is placed on the bottom mirror, the mirrors create a real image, which is a virtually identical copy of the original that appears in the opening. The quality of ...

  5. Tip-top table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip-top_table

    Folded late 18th century English loo table with Japanese motifs. A Tip-top table is a folding table with the tabletop hinged so it can be placed into a vertical position when not used to save space. It is also called tilt-top table, tip table, [1] snap table [2] [3] some variations are known as tea table, loo table.

  6. Mirror mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_mount

    Two kinematic mirror mounts, with mirrors. A mirror mount is a device that holds a mirror. [1] In optics research, these can be quite sophisticated devices, due to the need to be able to tip and tilt the mirror by controlled amounts, while still holding it in a precise position when it is not being adjusted.

  7. Segmented mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_mirror

    [3] [4] Using a monolithic mirror much larger than 5 meters is prohibitively expensive due to the cost of both the mirror, and the massive structure needed to support it. A mirror beyond that size would also sag slightly under its own weight as the telescope was rotated to different positions, [5] [6] changing the precision shape of the surface ...

  8. Three-mirror anastigmat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-mirror_anastigmat

    The KH-11 Kennen (or perhaps the now cancelled Future Imagery Architecture) telescopes may be a three-mirror anastigmat, since the spare telescopes given to NASA by the National Reconnaissance Office are of this form. The Extremely Large Telescope will be a three-mirror anastigmat design, with two additional flat fold mirrors.

  9. Mirror support cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_support_cell

    A basic mirror cell can be built using minimal calculation and simple materials. [1] Only slightly more complex are the wooden, plastic or metal cells which are often glued and which are either not user adjustable or which have only limited adjustment and which are used in lower end commercial telescopes and smaller amateur-built telescopes.
