Sitall
Sitall (also known as Sitall CO-115M or Astrositall) is a crystalline glass-ceramic with ultra-low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). It was originally manufactured in the former Soviet Union and was used in the making of primary mirrors for the Russian Maksutov telescopes. It has a CTE of only 0 ± 1.5 °C−1 in the temperature range −60 to 60 °C, placing it in a small group of transparent materials with low CTE such as Vycor, Zerodur, CerVit and fused quartz.
