Abstract: This paper presents preliminary results of optical tests of Schmidt lobster eye module based on a new technology. The module was tested using visible light, which is possible because glass plates coated with gold are used as mirrors. The results show good accordance with simulations. It means that the technological concept offers precise assembly of optical mirrors, which is the key aspect to obtain sharp focal image.
