A recent test demonstrated the ability of the telescope to fully deploy its shiny new mirror, which is one of the first things it’ll have to do after being sent to space, and before it can ...

Common applications of deflectometry include scanning large telescope mirrors or other high-performance optics for the slightest imperfections or deviations from their prescribed shape.

Humans have been chemically modifying their world for far longer than you might think. Long before they had the slightest idea of what was happening chemically, they were turning clay into bricks ...

Imaging Science is an Interdisciplinary field combining computer science, engineering, and physics to explore image creation, perception, and analysis. Our strong industry partnerships, including the ...

In July 1950, the company was joined by a bright young Cambridge graduate by the name of David Scatcherd Brown, who demonstrated a gift for the design and testing of large telescope mirrors.When he ...

We introduce a random-access parallel (RAP) imaging modality that uses a novel design inspired by a Newtonian telescope to image multiple spatially ... The random-access parallel (RAP) system uses a ...

As [Huygens Optics] explains, mirrors ground to each of these shapes have different properties, which makes it hard to build telescopes ... ground to a spherical profile, can be deformed slightly ...
