Structural Vibration Monitoring of an Extremely Large Telescope Using Low-Noise MEMS Accelerometers
ESO is deploying a permanent vibration monitoring system for the Extremely Large Telescope using low-noise Dewesoft IOLITE MEMS accelerometers and DewesoftX software. Early phase-one data already shows how wind, construction activity, and earthquakes affect the telescope and dome, helping engineers verify performance, track trends, and protect optical stability.
