The dichroic beam-splitter of EUCLID telescope will be characterized by Imagine Optic’s OBSERVE.
Imagine Optic has been working for the European Space Agency (ESA) since last Summer on designing an optical bench to characterize the dichroic beam-splitter of the EUCLID telescope. EUCLID's main mission is to map dark matter throughout the universe with...
WaveSuite goes full 64 bits: 3x processing speed, no-limit RAM & M2
WaveSuite 4.3 optical metrology and adaptive optics software completes the full transition to 64-bit compilation and overhauls previous limitations in RAM management and processing speed linked to 32-bit architecture legacy. This version of WaveSuite is a landmark for...
GAIA telescope alignment with our R-FLEX system
The purpose of the GAIA mission is to provide a three-dimensional map of approximately one billion stars throughout the galaxy and beyond. It gives the detailed physical properties of each star, gathering basic observational data to tackle a large range of problems...
