MICADO Phase A
| Submitter: | R.H.vandenBrink |
| Description: | Both NOVA and ASTRON engineers are working with enormous devotion on MICADO, the Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observations, which is being designed to work with adaptive optics on the European Extremely large Telescope. The instrument is intended to image a wide (~60 arcsec) field of view at the diffraction limit of the 30m E-ELT. It will do so through selected wide and narrow-band near-infrared filters. As the picture shows the new instruments are a bit larger than the ones we are familiar with. After all, the ELT is Big Science. |
