Simple Ronchi Tester

Hi nobby2 (Neil),to exploring the prospect of mirror making ATMing.

No body has chimed in at this point so thought it might be of interest to you to see a very simple rig made from scraps of ply, a 133LPI Ronchi screen, a cheap LED torch (has multiple LED's, covered all except one), a small piece of green cellophane wrapper paper, (through which I pass the LED beam), a few screws etc.

Pics: side view, front view, and a shot of Ronchi taken of my 33"f4.1 mirror,(still a work in progress). Photo of R-gram taken by free hand held Canon Power Shot A1200 digital camera.

I will let others show their test rigs for Foucault,(will be much more sophisticated than my simplistic Ronchi rig).

Stephen.
