Optical scheme is optimized for:

  • minimization of coma aberration over the whole operating spectral range;
  • elimination of the light re-entrance from two basic mirrors;
  • elimination of the light re-entrance between mirrors of the instrument and input windows of the detectors in the focal plane;
  • a large plane focal field for the whole operating spectral range;
  • astigmatism compensation for the whole operating spectral range by means of special correcting optics (for imaging modifications MS2004i and MS2001i).
