TERRESTRIAL TELESCOPES - ALMA The Atacama Large Millimeter/SubmillimeterArray (ALMA), will be a single research instrument composed of up to 80 high-precision antennas, located in Atacama, 5000 m above sea level. Resolutions as fine as 0.005" will be achieved at the highest frequencies, a factor of ten better than the Hubble Space Telescope. 4 The MLT contribution is the MAIT of 3.000 high precision primary reflector panels for the ALMA European Antennas. ESA strongly contributed to this success through TRP programs.
TERRESTRIAL TELESCOPES – MAGIC II MAGIC II is a telescopes for the detection of very high energy electromagnetic particles, gamma rays, via atmospheric Cherenkov imaging, with a mirror surface of 236 m2. Located on the Canary island of La Palma, it is operated by an international collaboration of 17 institutes. MLT produced and tested more than 100 cold slumped high accuracy glass Panels for MAGIC II.
Reflective optical components & subsystems MLT is a fully integrated designer and manufacturer of reflective optical components & subsystems, from design to qualification MLT develops and manufactures customized designs to meet application requirements
The CENTRE of EXCELLENCE (CoEAP) MLT has developed proprietary methodologies and processes for substrates polishing and superpolishing allowing to reach high surface accuracy and ultra low roughness on highly aspherical optics. These capabilities have been integrated into CoEAP able to compete at European level and to support the MLT grow. Ability to polish and measure work pieces with cylindrical, spherical and aspherical geometry. 240 m2 Clean room 2 Deterministic Polishing machines 3 super-polishing machines 3 State of the Art metrology instruments 11 Personnel (PhD, Eng.

Grazing Incidence Mirrors by e-forming • MLT production process uses a master of different materials (such as glass, NiP, Al, Steel) with sub-nano surface roughness finish in different geometries depending on the type of application: • This master is cleaned with a special cleaning process to remove particulate and molecular contamination • Completed this process, the matrix is usually coated with a coating by vacuum evaporation technique • The master is fitted with special attention on suitable racks and electroformed via a galvanic process • the mirror is separated from the master by cooling
