One of the important features of the ESO 3.6 m telescope is that the optics permit a comparatively large field (about 1°) to be imaged on a photographic plate in the prime foeus. This is possible due to the chosen shape of the primary mirror (modified Ritehey-Chretien) and a triplet corrector in front of the photographic plate. The large-field camera is now ready for shipment to La Silla. It incorporates some unusual features that are not seen.at other telescopes and was designed by ESO engineer Sten Milner in Geneva. He gives this information to the future users:
