Annular groove phase mask
This image shows the assembly of an Annular Groove Phase Mask (AGPM) which, when installed in a camera, enables high-contrastˆàimaging at very small inner workingˆàangles, potentiallyˆàopening up new possibilities inˆàhigh-resolution imaging. The part will be installed at the Paranal site onto the near-infrared camera and spectrograph 'CONICA', part ofˆàNACO òÀÔ the VLTòÀÙsˆàadaptive optics workhorse instrument.ˆàTo learn more about this instrument read the article inˆàissue 152ˆàof the messenger.
