The Pierre Auger Observatory is designed for study of the universe's high energy particles, which evolve in the high layers of the atmosphere, where an elementary particle strikes with energy above 10.sup.19./sup. eV (1.6 J!). However, there is no scientific consensus about cosmic ray origin. The Auger Observatory is projected to gather the data needed to solve that puzzle. One of the detection technique is to observe these showers by fluorescent detectors, which are able to record the cascade development where the secondary particle causes atmospheric nitrogen to fluoresce.

Joint Laboratory of Optics of Palacky University and Institute of Physics of the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic have cooperated and still works on several prestigious international projects of atmospheric optical detectors of cosmic rays.We deal with two French projects with international collaboration placed in French Pyrenees in Themis. These projects are CAT and Celesic.
