ING Instrumentation Options 2007B
This page gives an overview of the instrumentation
available on the WHT and INT, and on the TNG as part of
the Italian, NL and UK TNG-WHT timeshare programme.
It is revised bi-annually to reflect the options offered in each semester;
a summary of the time allocation process is
also available.
Please email the instrument contact, listed in the tables, if you require further information about any instrument; important notes regarding specific instruments and procedures are given at the bottom of this page. |
