A Wide-Angle Photographic Camera of James G. Baker With the Paraboloidal Mirror
Rail, Zdeněk ; Melich, Zbyněk ; Šrajer, Bohdan ; Vápenka, David ; Tomka, David ; Thoř, Tomáš ; Pintr, Pavel ; Macner, David
A field of view of the paraboloidal mirror is small. Dominant aberration which limits its angular diameter is coma. Using correctors consisting lenses and aspherical plates star images of the mirror systems can be radically corrected. In this paper we present optical design of such photographic camera computed by James G. Baker. His device is composed of a paraboloidal mirror, a cemented dublet in front of focus and an aspherical plate placed in entrance parallel beam.

The achromatic dublet of diameter 200 mm and focal length 3480 mm was manufactured by Professor ing. Vilém Gajdušek in Ostrava in 1954. The telescope with this objective is placed at the Observatory and planetarium in Hradec Králové. The objective was restored in the Institute of Plasma Physics, v.v.i.-Centrum Toptec in Turnov. During the process lens was measured and data were used for evaluation of its residual aberrations. We present the results of the measurement in this paper.

This paper deals with manufacturing of a positive lens of achromatic dublet. Diameter of the dublet is 158 mm and its focal length about 2500 mm. The glass material of the former lens was inhomogeneous and the dublet provided bad images. This is why we decided to manufacture new lens. The process was made by means of former machines of our workshop. The telescope with this dublet is placed at the Observatory of Turnov and serves for public astronomical observation.
The Residual Optical Aberrations of the Merz Objective Lens 108/1620 mm
Rail, Zdeněk ; Melich, Zbyněk ; Vápenka, David ; Šrajer, Bohdan
During the cleaning and adjustment of the Merz lens with a diameter of 108 mm and a focal length of 1620 mm, we had the opportunity to measure its optical parameters. From the measured values we made a calculation of residual optical defects of this achromatic lens. The results of these mathematical simulations are presented in this paper. The lens was made around 1923.
The Repair of an Objective Lens 160/2500 of the Observatory in Turnov
Rail, Zdeněk ; Melich, Zbyněk ; Šrajer, Bohdan ; Šípová, Gabriela ; Kaucká, Iva ; Franců, Helena ; Melich, Radek
This paper brings the information about repair of the achromatic objective lens of diameter 160mm and focal length 2500mm produced by the Development Optical Workshop of the ČSAV in Turnov. The refractor with this dublet has become the main telescope of a local astronomical observatory. The positive lens contained impurities – schlieren and it was necessary to produce a new lens and change it.
The Simulation of Residual Optical Aberrations of the Objective Lens of Merz 124/1477
Rail, Zdeněk ; Melich, Zbyněk ; Šrajer, Bohdan
This objective lens was renoved in the Institute of Plasma Physics, v.v.i. Center Toptec in Turnov. During the process we got a possibility to measure the objective lens on the optical bench and to evaluate its residual optical aberrations. The objective lens was manufactured in 1860-1870 years
The Spherochromatic Aberration of the Clark‘s Objective Lens of the Ondřejov Observatory
Rail, Zdeněk ; Šrajer, Bohdan ; Jareš, Daniel ; Vápenka, David ; Pintr, Pavel
In our paper the results of mathematical simulations of the residual aberrations of Clark‘s 8 inch (diameter 203.2 mm) objective lens are presented. This achromatic dublet has been used at the Ondřejov Observatory for more than 100 years mostly for solar observation.
P3-TOP-TN-15001 Achievable microroughness of ASPIICS optical glass elements
Bartoníček, Jiří ; Budasz, Jiří ; Hadincová, Ivana ; Horodyská, Petra ; Kaucká, Iva ; Kovačičinová, Jana ; Lédl, Vít ; Melich, Radek ; Pleštil, Jan ; Poláková, Ivana ; Procháska, František ; Psota, Pavel ; Rail, Zdeněk ; Šípová, Gabriela ; Šrajer, Bohdan ; Ulrichová, Iva ; Václavík, Jan ; Vápenka, David ; Vít, Tomáš
The scope of this document is describe a test that investigates an achievable micro-roughness realized on different types of optical glasses [R1] that are planned to be employed for realization of PROBA3 coronagraph telescope. The test is realized with respect to the technological manufacturing possibilities of optical elements at TOPTEC facility.
The Merz objective 160 / 179 of refractor of Upice Observatory
Rail, Zdeněk ; Šrajer, Bohdan ; Lédl, Vít ; Jareš, Daniel ; Oupický, Pavel ; Melich, Radek ; Melich, Zbyněk
In this paper, basic optical characteristic of historic objective lens manufactured by Merz are presented. This objective lens has been in use in main dome of Upice observatory since 1960. The lens was cleaned up and adjusted, during reconstruction work of paralactic mount in beginning of this year. Opto-mechanical parameters of the lens were measured. Measured values of optical parameters are presented.
