The DEIMOS camera element #5, made of Calcium Flouride,
is the largest of its kind in the World!
|
|
Here are the camera elements #1, #2, and #9 after fabrication and testing while they await mounting into their cells.
|
|
This is cell #1 which will hold elements #1 & #2.
|
|
|
Located in this recessed portion of the cell will be an expansion bladder that will expand/contract as the atmospheric pressure changes. Without this release of pressure the elements would move about as the outside pressure changes.
|
|
The procedure to pot elements into the cells is tested on a piece of metal before it is done on the real optical element.
