Using Optical Metrology for Large Optics in Telescopes
Sponsored by 4D TechnologyJan 7 2021
The quantification of large optics demands metrology systems that operate in the context of turbulence, vibration and additional challenges.

Introduction
The demand for meter-scale optical components has quickly grown in recent years, driven by an increase in satellite-based and terrestrial astronomy, and security and defense applications.
Laser interferometry is utilized across the manufacturing of large optics to validate adherence to stringent design requirements. ‘Dynamic interferometry’ has more recently been utilized for the vibration-resistant quantification of large optics.
Quilty mast proposal refused planning permission
A CONTROVERSIAL application for a mobile and broadband mast in Quilty has been rejected by the planning authorities.
Cignal Infrastructure had sought permission for a 24-metre monopole mobile and broadband tower with headframe carrying telecommunications equipment at Lissykenthy House, Tromara, Quilty. The company had been turned down for a similar development at a nearby site just a few months earlier and this time the visual impact on the area was the main reason for rejection.
A Clare County Council document explained, “Having regard to the open and exposed character of the site and the visually prominent location of the site from the southern approach to Quilty village and from areas within and on the outskirts of Quilty village, it is considered that the proposed development would conflict with the Telecommunications Antennae and Support Structures, Guidelines for Planning Authorities.”
various social groups and is calling for the soccer world to crack down. i think it s very important to send an absolutely clear signal in this respect even to the extent of canceling games as long as no action is taken it looks like things are not so bad. the soccer federation of hessen has only registered 2 incidents of anti-semitism in the last season but alan meyer believes that many cases go unreported he wants action. information on anti-semitic incidents to be properly gathered and for there to be an appropriate response at the same time we need to build support structures for these associations and sports clubs through a commissioner of anti-semitism in sports. the soccer association is open to these ideas even as a lot is already being done to solve the problem instead of just using punishment it also teaches german jewish history. already tackling this
easily radicalized after going through years of no opportunities and humiliation in russia. eighty percent of the time you ve gone off to join the war had been migrant workers in russia. like r. and by his son he sent to be with i.a.s. in syria the russian authorities have questioned over and by several times about his son now he s afraid he ll be deported. back room home royer fist trying to keep that from happening. when all the program reporter there is always the devout muslims they barge in on i don t know what to say to the authorities were like sheep when they think we re stupid and don t know the law so they can do anything they want with us so caught up there with. his lawyer explain is that it behooves the state to set up support structures for people like lauren by but during the world cup the authorities crack down. they would just open it whether it s cruel or
