1 Meter Telescopes

Modern optical applications require unprecedented performance. New requirements such as full automation, 10 microradian axis alignment and rigidity, and 100 micron (or better) axis intersection and stability, require new telescope designs and new manufacturing technology.

EOST is the world's leading manufacturer of 1 meter class telescopes. This telescope class is in full serial production in a new purpose-built facility, with significant price/performance and delivery advantages to all users. These telescopes are made to the highest standards.
