INSTRUMENT
Main characteristics
SOXS mounted at the NTT flange (left) and the overall structure (right).
UV-VIS ARM
Overall optical design of the UV-VIS arm
90% Enslitted Energy (left) and resolution power (right) of the SOXS UV_VIS arm
Spectral format of the four sub-camera spectrum (left) and the overall efficiency of the UV-VIS arm (right).
