Abstract: A telescope includes an initial telescope comprising a concave first mirror and a convex second mirror that are configured so that they form, from a light beam coming from infinity, an image called the intermediate image in a focal plane called the intermediate focal plane, the intermediate image having a largest dimension along an X-axis perpendicular to an optical axis of the telescope, a segmenting module comprising a first set of n segmenting mirrors that are placed downstream of the intermediate focal plane and that are configured to divide the intermediate image obtained from the intermediate focal plane into n sub-images, a second set of n refocusing mirrors that are configured to reimage the n sub-images into n images in a focal plane of the telescope, the images being arranged in the focal plane so as to decrease the dimension along X containing the n images, a detecting device placed in the focal plane.

Abstract: N-methyleneglycinates of formula (I) 1

Abstract: A method of producing optically active tert-leucinol (formula I) of high enantiomeric purity ##STR1## by converting racemic (RS)-tert-leucinol into a diastereomeric salt pair by reaction with an optically active acid, removing the salt pair from solution by fractionated crystallization and separating therefrom the optically active acid to release the optically active tert-leucinol from the salt. The optically active acid used is an N-acylated tert-leucine of general formula VIII: ##STR2## in which R can be hydrogen or an alkyl-, arylalkyl- or aryl group with up to 20 C atoms and * signifies a chirality center.

Abstract: .alpha.-oximino carboxylic acids or their esters are reduced with an alkali boron hydride and hydrogen chloride or sulfuric acid to yield racemic amino alcohols (e.g. (RS)-tert-leucinol).
