Quick Shot
Completion of the Off-Axis Parabola Inserter/Manipulator Project
June 09, 2010
A fisheye view of the OMEGA EP target chamber (with the laser beamlines to the right) shows off the last of the three Off-Axis Parabola Inserter/Manipulators (OAPI/M’S) to be installed at the Omega Laser Facility. Previously highlighted in the 2/01/10 Quick Shot, the Gate Valve Electrical Drive is installed on the upper left side of the gate valve, just left of photograph center. An Off-Axis Parabola, previously shown in the 8/11/08 Quick Shot, is maneuvered by an OAPI/M inside the target chamber.
