| Topic: | The Echidna Instrument that the AAO has developed for the Subaru Telescope |
| Speaker: | Peter Gillingham |
| Venue: | Epping Creative Centre - 26 Stanley Road, Epping |
| Abstract: | "Echidna is a unique instrument for positioning 400 optical fibres within a 15-cm focal plane with an accuracy of a few microns. Each fibre is held by a spine, and each spine can be moved independently. Echidna forms part of a new fibre-fed multi-object spectrograph, FMOS, for the 8-m Subaru telescope."
Peter is an optical engineer and has been involved with much of the instrumentation developed at the AAO. |
