Hubble Space Telscope Deep-sky Survey Finds Interacting Galaxies in a Cluster

In one of the deepest celestial surveys yet made by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a small group of previously unknown, interacting galaxies estimated to be three billion light-years away. Hubble caught the galaxies in an early stage of evolution, and so they offer new clues to developing a much clearer understanding of how galaxies have changed over time. Nearly half the galaxies appear to be

Products & Services
Spectroradiometers
Spectroradiometers are used to measure the spectral power distributions of light sources, monitors, and other illuminants.
Telescopes
Telescopes are lens assemblies designed to magnify and view distant objects.
Telescope Repair Services
Telescope Repair Services refurbish telescopes to their original operating specifications.
Semiconductor Cluster Tools
Semiconductor cluster tools and equipment are used to process semiconductor wafers for the production of microelectronic components.
Telecentric Lenses
Telecentric lenses are used to provide images independent of an object’s distance, or to prevent wide ranges of angles of incidence. There are three basic types of telecentric lenses: object-space, image-space, and double telecentric.
