... The central portion of the OTA F/24 beam is intercepted by a steerable pick-off mirror attached to the WFPC2, and is diverted through an open entry port into the instrument. ... Then the light falls onto a shallow-angle, four-faceted pyramid located at the aberrated OTA focus, each face of the pyramid being a concave spherical surface. ... WFPC2 is focused by moving the OTA secondary mirror, and then other science instruments are adjusted to achieve a common focus for all the HST instruments. ...

RTT150 . ... The primary mirror 1 reflects light to the secondary mirror 2 which sends the converging beam of light to the system of four flat mirrors 3, 4, 5 and 6. That allows the beam of light to leave the telescope strictly along its polar axis and be collected in Coude focus. ... That's why at any tube position (for any rotation along the declination axis) beam of light parallel to the principal axis after reflection on mirror 3 follows the direction of declination axis. ...

... Description . ... The SCORPIO-2 project: . ... The multi-mode spectrograph SCORPIO-2 was developed using the experience of observations at the 6-m telescope BTA with the SCORPIO focal reducer . ... The focal reducer consists of several units ('floors') mounted in the common case in the following order (from the telescope focal plane): . ... The focal reducer is connected with the platform-adapter which used for guiding by offset stars and for illumination the spectrograph by calibration lamps. ...

... HYPERBOLOID is a plasma spectrometer aimed at the investigation of the low energy ions dynamics in the polar ionosphere and magnetosphere on the INTERBALL Auroral Probe . ... The instrument is basically a multi-directional ion mass spectrometer measuring ion distribution functions over an energy range from ~0.1 to 80 eV. ... The ion angular and energy distribution are obtained by means of an electrostatic optics defining 2 planes with several entrance windows. ...

... The low energy plasma composition spectrometer AMEI-2 is built to be able to find in the low energy range of the phase space (E, q, j) and separate the fluxes of the major ion species in the magnetotail - H+, He++, He+ and O+, and analyse their energy and angular distributions. ... Electrostatic angular scanning in one direction and the use of the spin of the satellite to sample the other angle give the ability to measure 2-D distributions for each ion specie several times per spin. ...
