The DECam prime focus cage under the Blanco 4-m telescope before installation
The new prime focus cage, a major component of the new Dark Energy Camera, lies on its side under the Blanco 4-m telescope before it is installed. The optical alignment target can be seen just in front of the front element - a very large, fused-silica lens.
