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

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), in response to its commitment to technology transfer to society, has created IACTec, the IAC's technological-business collaborative space. The present action will provide the IACTec building with an opto-mechanical laboratory that, together with the photonics and opto-electronics laboratories, will

The EU has nine Outermost Regions (ORs): Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Saint Martin, Réunion, Mayotte; the Canary Islands; and the Azores and Madeira. ORs are an integral part of EU territory but, as Article 349 TFEU recognizes, they differ from the rest of the EU due to their remoteness, their insularity, their small size, their adverse

Globular clusters (GCs) are compact, gravitationally bound systems of up to 1 million stars. They are associated with galaxies of all types and masses and can be used to trace dark matter in galaxies among other topics. The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be one of the main photometric studies for the 2020s-2030. LSST will study the

The "Área de Carreteras, Movilidad, Innovación y Cultura" belonging to the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, has financed the employment of IACTEC´s researchers in the programmes "Space" (Microsatellites, Teledetection, Optical Communications), "Optical Systems Advanced Fabrication" and "Medical Technology" through the IACTEC Technological Training"
