Abstract

PURPOSE:To make an infrared observation with high accuracy and to makes an observation with normal visible rays in the presence of noise visible light by mounting a plate which has top and reverse surfaces differing in property opposite the main reflecting mirror of a spider so that the plate can be inverted. CONSTITUTION:The spider 6 is made of a material which has a small radiation rate in the infrared-ray range on the surface opposite the main reflecting mirror 2, and the plate 11 which has a polished surface and a surface painted in black as its top and reverse surfaces is mounted so that the plate can be turned over. Then, the surface of the spider 6 which faces the main reflecting mirror 2 is made of a material which has a low radiation rate in the infrared-ray range to has the high-reflection-factor polished surface 11a, and then the rate of noise infrared rays emitted by the spider 6 decreases to enable an infrared observation to be made; and the plate is turned over to use the black painted surface 11b, and then visible light is absorbed and a normal light observation is taken.

The reflected light is reflected again by the sub-reflector (5), passes through the hole (2a) made in the center of the main reflector (2), and is focused on the observation device (see Figure 4). As is clear, the mirror surfaces of the main reflecting mirror (2) and the sub-reflecting mirror (5) are curved so as to have a parabolic or biparabolic relationship, for example, so that the observation signal cannot be detected on the observation device (7). It is structured to focus on (8).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional infrared telescope device as described above has the following drawbacks. This will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 and 7. The spider (6) emits noise infrared rays (1
0) to be incident on the main reflecting mirror (2), the observation device (7) receives the temperature signal of the spider (6) via the sub-reflecting mirror (5) as shown by the arrow in the figure. On the other hand, the observation signal (8) arriving from the celestial body is also omitted in this diagram, or
Naturally, it enters the observation device (7). Therefore, spider (6)
The noise infrared rays (10) generated by the signal degrade the S/N ratio (signal/'noise ratio) of the signal as unnecessary noise. This deterioration rate is calculated by the projected area (6b) of the spider (6) projected by the spider (6) onto the mirror surface of the main reflector (2) and the
) (see Figure 7). Conventionally, solutions have been taken to reduce this area ratio as much as possible, but there is a limit to the thickness of the spider (6) in order to support the weight of the sub-reflector (5) and spider (6). , it was not possible to significantly remove the noise signal.
