Description
English: A 1-kg single-crystal silicon sphere for the Avogadro Project is shown above in the hands of Master Optician Achim Leistner at the Australian Centre for Precision Optics (ACPO), which is part of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
ACPO's spheres are among the roundest man-made objects in the world. If one of their Ø 93.6 mm spheres, which had an out-of-roundness of 35 nm, was scaled to the size of the Earth, its ‘continents’ would gradually rise only 2.4 meters above sea level.
