AGC Plasma to provide a new coating equipment for IAC

AGC Plasma Technology Solutions is proud to have been awarded the contract for the design, manufacturing, and installation of an optical coating system for substrates up to 2.0 meters by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).

The IAC, located in the Canary Islands, Spain, is a leading astrophysical research institute operating two world-renowned observatories: the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma and the Teide Observatory on Tenerife.

This state-of-the-art optical coater will play a vital role in the initial coating and maintenance of telescope mirrors at these observatories, supporting groundbreaking astronomical research.

We’re delighted to share that the Final Acceptance Test was successfully passed in November. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this remarkable achievement.
