What is μιη) has μηι Mylar to reduce dome-induced turbulence about?

Optical tests have been made to determine whether Mylar film has high enough optical quality to be used as a window for a telescope dome or as the entrance window for a closed-tube telescope. The results are encouraging. The thinnest Mylar film available from DuPont (thickness 1.5 μιη) has reasonably high optical quality and, if properly mounted, sufficient tensile strength to resist destruction by gusts ofwind. An attempt to use is described.
