This diagram shows the location of the focal plane system components as installed on the Mayall telescope. The focal plate assembly, which contains all robotic fiber positioners, guide and focus cameras, and fiducial sources, is mounted to the prime focus corrector. The FVC is mounted behind the primary mirror and measures the positions of the backlit fibers, as well as the fixed fiducials interspersed throughout the array.
