Instruments under design or prototyping
- PolyOculus; A proposed large‐area‐equivalent telescope that uses fiber optics to link modules of multiple semi‐autonomous, small, inexpensive, commercial‐off‐the‐shelf (COTS) telescopes.
- GIRMOS; GIRMOS is a Multi-object Adaptive optics integral field spectrograph for Gemini, being led by S. Sivanandam at U. Toronto. GIRMOS was inspired in art by the UF-led IRMOS concept for TMT, and Prof. S. Eikenberry is a collaborator on GIRMOS.
- IRMOS;
IRMOS is a Multi-object Adaptive optics integral field spectrograph concept developed at UF for the Thirty Meter Telescope.
