STScI

Working like at the operating table

We have been working on the installation of our professional spectrograph for a few weeks now. Now we have installed the camera and carried out the first measurements. Due to the very high sensitivity of the optical components, caution is advised. You should not talk about the optics without protection because saliva is corrosive and can damage surfaces without a protective coating. Swabs, scalpels and pliers are not necessary, but exact measurements are. These showed that the spectrograph exceeds the very high accuracy requirements.
