Who We Are

We are a group of engineers and technicians with complementary educations, experiences, backgrounds and nationalities. We all participate in different but overlapping aspects of instrument development and integration.

Our skills cover the following domains of expertise:

Instrumentation, mechanics, cryogenics, vacuum technologies, optics, opto-mechanics, mechanical design, machining, CAD / CAM, Multiphysics simulations, micro-vibrations (measurement, analysis, and isolation), AIV/AIT of instrumentation, subsystems and instrument infrastructure.

A list of contact persons per instrument, project and activity within our department is available.

The following table describes our contact information. All phone numbers must be written with the prefix: +49 89 3200 XXXX, where XXXX are the four digit of the extension number within ESO.
