This glass object is part of an advanced optical apparatus that was decisive in Reinhard Genzel’s research on a super massive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. He used a method called Integral Field Spectroscopy to combine image analysis with spectroscopy. This part of the apparatus, a 3D Slicer, was used in one step of his studies. Highly simplified, the experiment deals with capturing light beams, splitting the beams into different wavelengths and then interpreting the data.
Reinhard Genzel donated the optical equipment to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2022. - Location
