Solar Magnetic Field Telescope

This magnetograph consists of a 35-cm vacuum refractor, a 1/8Å birefringent filter with 3 sets of KD*P crystal modulator, a CCD camera and an Imaging Technology 151 system controlled by a AST-386 computer. The photospheric vector magnetograms and Dopplergrams, chromospheric longitudinal magnetograms and Dopplergrams, corrsponding filtergrams can be obtain by this system.
