MACOR is used in astronomical telescopes for the following purposes:

Optical support: Due to its excellent processability and stability, MACOR can be used as a support material for optical components

In large astronomical telescopes, optical components (such as lenses, barrels, etc.) require precise support to maintain shape and positioning

MACOR can be processed into complex support structures for supporting and fixing optical components.

Thermal insulation components: in some high-performance astronomical telescopes

To reduce thermal interference and maintain stable temperature of optical components

Thermal insulation components may be required. Due to its excellent thermal insulation performance, MACOR

It can be used as a thermal insulation material to help isolate the heat exchange between optical components and the external environment.

Optical fixing parts: MACOR can be processed into optical fixing parts of various shapes and sizes

Used for fixing and positioning optical components. These fasteners need to have stable dimensions and shapes

And it should be able to resist the influence of mechanical vibration and temperature changes

To ensure the stability and accuracy of the optical system.

Optical isolation components: In some astronomical observation tasks that require very strict optical environments

Optical isolation components may need to be used to isolate optical components, reducing optical interference and stray light.

The Macor produced by Corning can be well processed into optical isolation components

Used to isolate and separate different optical components, improving the optical performance of telescopes.
