IDOM company will manufacture Wide FastCam Instrument

19/12/2013
After an open competition, the IDOM company is in charge of the design and manufacture of the optomechanics of the instrument. The concept that they propose is a tubular bench of welded aluminum, in which its structure also performs as a protective enclosure. The two mirrors would be fitted in two flanges on adjustable cells with three screws and the two camera lenses, the detector and the filter wheel would be fitted with a third flange. Once this design is approved, the manufacturing of the instrument will be easy. Consequently the first prototype should be ready in spring 2014.
