English: This picture shows the final antenna for the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) project, shortly before it was handed over to the ALMA Observatory. The 12-metre-diameter dish was manufactured by the European AEM Consortium and also marks the successful delivery of a total of 25 European antennas — the largest ESO contract so far.
The final antenna appears in the foreground on the right and several other antennas appear in the background.
Español: Esta imagen muestra la última antena del Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, justo antes de ser entregada al Observatorio ALMA. La fabricación del plato de 12 metros de diámetro estuvo a cargo del consorcio europeo AEM (European AEM Consortium), y además representa la exitosa entrega de un total de 25 antenas europeas, el mayor contrato concedido por ESO hasta el momento.
La antena aparece en un primer plano a la derecha de la fotografía, mientras varias otras antenas se aprecian en el fondo.
