The IAC has defined as a strategic objective for the coming years to have the infrastructure, equipment and human group that allows the manufacture of mirrors up to 2 meters of diameter for astronomical use. These capabilities are only available to very few organizations in the world and will significantly increase the role of the IAC in frontier

MICAL consists of two main tasks: 1. Development of Instrumentation Prototypes for the European Solar Telescope, with two specific actions: a) Demonstrator of the adaptive optics system of EST. This action consists in the acquisition of a set of elements that will form a complete optical wavefront correction system that simulates a system

LISA (Laboratory of Imaging and Sensors for Astronomy) is an IAC facility devoted to the characterization, integration, and manufacturing of developments related with sensors and cameras to use in telescopes. It started at the end 2007. Since then, it grows improving its performances to very different type of sensores, in the visible and in the
