Astronomical instrumentation: a window of opportunities
Modern astronomy requires to observe the Universe at different electromagnetic
wavelengths. The important investments done in the last years in astronomical
facilities have attracted the attention of many contiguous research fields,
among them, the areas studying the interaction of matter and radiation. These
areas have the potentiality of improving the efficiency/through-put of the
future astronomical devices. In the talk a general review on astronomical
instrumentation will be done, making emphasis on those niches where there
might still be a wide room for improvement.
