China's mid-infrared solar observation telescope starts installation and testing in northwest China's Qinghai Province. /CMG
The world's first mid-infrared solar observation telescope, developed by China, has started installation and testing in northwest China's Qinghai Province.
The telescope is equipped with Infrared System for the Accurate Measurement of Solar Magnetic Field (AIMS) to fill the gap in such fields around the world. The mid-infrared range observation of the sun would help improve accuracy in measurement of the solar magnetic field.
AIMS has adopted the off-axis optical system design for the first time in the country's astronomical observation history. The focal plane scientific instrument is equipped with a high spectral resolution mid-infrared imaging spectrometer and polarization measurement system.
China's homegrown observation system has achieved innovation in the aspects of scientific study and technology development.
The system has entered the phase of assembly and is expected to be put into use next year.
Tong Liyue, who works for the National Astronomical Observatories, said the system is of significance as the country can acquire a more accurate measurement of the sun's magnetic field.
