APEX at work

The 12 metre dish of the APEX telescope is located on the Chajnantor plateau, which is also the site of the ALMA observatory. APEX was a pathfinder for ALMA and is based on a prototype antenna constructed for the ALMA project.

As advantage of observing in the milimetre/submilimetre wavelengths, the telescope can also be used during daytime.
