Abstract
A wide field corrector is the assembly of lenses that lets a telescope see a usable field, and its structure has to hold those elements in place to optical tolerances. Zhu, Oh, Novak and Burge describe inspecting one with a portable coordinate measuring machine – what a portable arm can and cannot certify about an assembly of that kind, reported across eight figures and two tables.
