ESO VLT Deformable Secondary Mirror
The new M2 unit for the VLT Adaptive Optics Facility is shown during the Factory Acceptance at our premises.
See more on the integration steps in the Adaptive Optics section and
new ESO Announcement.
Fermilab DECam hexapod
DECam made its first light on Spet. 12, 2012.
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.
Deformable Mirrors for ELTs
Two contracts have been awarded to ADS together with Microgate for the execution of the preliminary design studies and prototypes of the deformable mirror units on the European-ELT by ESO and the Giant Magellan Telescope in the US.
More details are available in the Adaptive Optics section.

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.
