LBT adaptive optics
The adaptive secondary mirror built by the Microgate-ADS-INAF team is producing unprecedented sharp images HR8799 planetary system. More info are available by LBTO.
ESO VLT Deformable Secondary Mirror
The new M2 unit for the VLT Adaptive Optics Facility. The image shows the 1120mm diameter and 2mm thick shell made by SAGEM during integration activity at our premises.
See more on the integration steps in the Adaptive Optics section.  
CCAT actuators
ADS is developing a prototype actuator for Cornell University CCAT project. These actuator devices will be used to actively control the primary surface of the telescope to compensate for gravitational deformations.
Fermilab DECam hexapod
The image by Fermilab shows our hexapod successfully installed and tested at on the DECam project telescope simulator facility, before being moved on the Blanco 4m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (Chile) in 2012.
Festival della Scienza Genova 2011
ADS was present at the Festival della Scienza 2011 in Genova with CNR/INAF and Microgate presenting scientific achievements obtained with our deformable mirrors technology.
A.D.S. International (ADS) is a private company working in the field of telescope, radiotelescope and astronomical instruments design and production. By working in close co-operation with the Customer we follow our projects from the early feasibility phase down to the construction and field installation. We operate in a industrial facility located near Lecco (Italy), where we have office and laboratory area. We are equipped with up-to-date engineering and design tools and thanks to our mechanical workshop we can prototype directly our products. Moreover, in our own integration and calibration laboratory we perform directly in-house all the most critical steps of the production and qualification process of our instruments, thus assuring the Customer direct and full control of its product.
