Design drivers for the optomechanical system of the telescope are the requested wavelength range, magnification, and field of view. The increasing diversity of the science cases leads to increasing expectations for size and quality of its main optical components.[[BR]][[BR]]The lecture gives an overview on optical configurations of large telescopes for different wavelength ranges and throughput – optical, radio, infrared, solar etc., and describes the related challenges for their structural, and mechanical design.[[BR]]'''[[BR]]'''Presentation: German[[BR]]Slides: English[[BR]]Questions: German, English || |
