​Innovation
​
mtex has developed and patented a new type of panel that enables measurements as accurate as half the thickness of a human hair. On average, they are 2.3 x 2.3m in size and weigh approx. 70kg. The aluminum mirrors undergo a special surface treatment to achieve a diffuse reflection of solar energy.
76 of these panels were built at CONCAD GmbH for the ngVLA prototype.
