L’ébauche du miroir secondaire de l’ELT (télescope géant) a été réalisée par la société SCHOTT basée à Mayence en Allemagne. Lorsque finalisé, ce miroir sera caractérisé par un diamètre de 4,2 mètres et une masse de 3,5 tonnes. Il sera alors le plus grand miroir secondaire jamais installé sur un télescope ainsi que le plus grand miroir convexe réalisé à ce jour.
