ARIZONA SOLAR CONFERENCE 2008

Being an ex-optician I was most interested in the operation and fabrication of the optics and forgot to get enough people pictures! Just click on the pictures for a larger view.


Andy Lunt gives us a tour of the facility on Saturday starting with the optical roughing room and the polishing/figuring lab.




Andy and Brian show us the final assembly room.



The various stages of finished etalons.



The telescopes out back on Sunday
