File:ALMA Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts.jpg
On the left is one of the 7-metre dishes, clearly smaller than its neighbours. The other two dishes both have a diameter of 12 metres, but subtle differences in their design can be seen. This is because the dish on the right was originally a prototype, used for testing during the early stages of the project, which has since been retrofitted with elements from the final design of the dish in the centre. Once ready, all these dishes will take their places on the high Chajnantor plateau.
The ALMA project is a partnership of Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. ESO is the European partner in ALMA.
