The frequency and contrast characteristics of the unit of the shadow image formation point to a material weakening of the high-frequency components in the spectrum of spatial frequencies already during the formation of the X-ray image. To compensate for this weakening that also takes place in other subassemblies of the television X-ray installation the introduction of an aperture corrector is necessary. As such a corrector in transmitting an image of little mobile objects a bidimensional aperture corrector set up on the transmitting television tube can be effectively used.

In the instrument suite of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), the linear atmospheric dispersion corrector (LADC) is positioned at the forefront of the spectrometer to mitigate atmospheric dispersion. The LADC comprises two large aperture wedge prisms, each approximately 1.5 meters in diameter.

This ability is limited by the precision of the manufacturing process, whereby systematic errors that arise during fabrication contribute to wavefront aberrations even after calibration of the deposition process based on wavefront metrology. Such aberrations can be compensated by using a phase plate.

In a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), producing a high-resolution image generally requires an electron beam focused to the smallest point possible. However, the magnetic lenses used to focus the beam are unavoidably imperfect, introducing aberrations that limit resolution. Modern STEMs overcome this by using hardware aberration correctors comprised of many multipole elements, but these devices are complex, expensive, and can be difficult to tune.

This is especially true for wide field survey telescopes with prime focus optics. The estimation of disturbance effects on large telescopes is becoming increasingly important during the design phase.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA stable and reliable support system for large aperture wedge prisms is the priority of the atmospheric dispersion corrector (ADC). The prism is not a rotationally symmetric component, and the stress distribution on large aperture wedge prisms caused by the support system is different compared with the rotationally symmetric mirror. A scheme of support forces passing through the prism center of gravity (COG) is proposed in this paper.
