  2. Serrurier truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serrurier_truss

    A Serrurier truss tube assembly on the Carl Zeiss Cassegrain telescope in Ostrowik near Warsaw.. A Serrurier truss is used in telescope tube assembly construction. The design was created in 1935 by engineer Mark U. Serrurier when he was working on the Mount Palomar 200 in (5.1 m) Hale Telescope. [1]

  3. Ultra low expansion glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_low_expansion_glass

    There are many applications for ULE, but by far the most common is for mirrors and lenses for telescopes in both space and terrestrial settings. One of the most well known examples of the use of ULE is in the Hubble Space Telescope's mirror. Another good example of its application is in the Gemini telescope's mirror bank. This type of material ...

    Primary lens: The objective of a refracting telescope. Primary mirror: The objective of a reflecting telescope. Corrector plate: A full aperture negative lens placed before a primary mirror designed to correct the optical aberrations of the mirror. Schmidt corrector plate: An aspheric-shaped corrector plate used in the Schmidt telescope.

  5. PLate OPtimizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLate_OPtimizer

    PLate OPtimizer, or PLOP is a CAD program used by amateur telescope makers to design primary mirror support cells for reflecting telescopes.It was developed by telescope maker David Lewis, first described in 1999, [1] and used to simplify calculations needed in the design of mirror support cells. [2]

  6. Catadioptric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catadioptric_system

    The Schmidt camera is a wide-field photographic telescope, with the corrector plate at the center of curvature of the primary mirror, producing an image at a focus inside the tube assembly at the prime focus where a curved film plate or detector is mounted. The relatively thin and lightweight corrector allows Schmidt cameras to be constructed ...

  7. Zerodur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerodur

    Zerodur has both an amorphous (vitreous) component and a crystalline component. Its most important properties [21] are: . The material exhibits a particularly low thermal expansion, with a mean value of 0 ± 0.007×10 −6 K −1 within the temperature range of 0 to 50 °C.

  8. List of telescope types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_telescope_types

    Telescopes can be classified by optical design or mechanical design/construction. Telescopes can also be classified by where they are placed, such as space telescopes. One major determining factor is type of light, or particle being observed including devices referred to as "telescopes" that do not form an image or use optics.

  9. Very Large Telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Large_Telescope

    The 8.2-metre-diameter telescopes are housed in compact, thermally controlled buildings, which rotate synchronously with the telescopes. This design minimises any adverse effects on the observing conditions, for instance from air turbulence in the telescope tube, which might otherwise occur due to variations in the temperature and wind flow.
