The spherometer is a measuring instrument used in the machining of an astronomical mirror, to verify the depth of the sagitta, and then the radius of curvature of the surface under examination. The instrument itself is not complicated, It's consists of a rigid supporting structure on which are placed 3 supporting feet arranged

how to parabolize a low focal ratio mirror ( F2-F4 ) - Part Three

Now let's see how to develop a procedure that takes account of the problems highlighted in the article II, that is how to generate the project by means of a parabola working as regular as possible, with particular attention to the control of the figure during the intermediate stages of processing. THE METHOD “CUSTOM” The name only want to indicate they are not
