The German-Italian High-Resolution Imager

LINC-NIRVANA (LN) is a near infrared imaging instrument for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) offering multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) and ultimately, interferometric beam combination for ultra high spatial resolution. The combination of LN and LBT provides a unique platform for high angular resolution astronomy.
