16.09.2024	Werner Laun	The METIS-cryostat The new large ELT telescope is slowly growing on the Zerro Armazones in Chile. At the same time as the telescope is being built, the first generation of instruments is also being built. The MPIA is involved in 2 instruments, METIS and MICADO. For METIS, the MPIA has taken on two large work packages: the wavefront sensor and the imager. The design and construction of the cryostat, which is the subject here, are work packages of ETH Zurich. However, the MPIA was heavily involved in the initial concept and design. In the meantime, the first parts of the cryostat have arrived in Zurich and integration has begun. This talk is intended to explain what a cryostat is and how this special cryostat for METIS is constructed. Colleagues who are not involved in instrumentation or science are also invited to attend.
