LATERAL FLEXURE OF MIRROR ASSEMBLY FOR TELESCOPE

摘要

PURPOSE: An optical axis vertical direction flexor of a reflecting mirror for a telescope is provided to minimize the amount of deformation of a mirror facet of the telescope and to support weight in an optical axis vertical direction of the reflecting mirror. CONSTITUTION: A rim(110) has external diameter(O1), predetermined thickness(D1), and width(W1). A hub(120) has external diameter(O2) and predetermined thickness(D2) on the center of the rim. A plurality of connecting units(130) interlinks the rim and the hub. The plurality of connecting units has predetermined thickness(D3). One side of the connecting unit is combined with the inner circumferential face of the rim and the other side of the connecting unit is combined with the outer circumferential face of the hub. The rim, the hub, the plurality of connecting units, and a reinforcement unit are formed into one body.
