Abstract
An automated fibre optic coupler (AUTOFIB) for multi-object spectroscopy has been design-ed and is currently being built for the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) as a collaborative project between Durham University and the Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO). The device consists of a high-speed, precision, fibre positioner and an interchangeable fibre module. The positioner places the fibre probes individually under microprocessor control and can set up a field of 64 fibres in less than 10 minutes.© (1986) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
