The document discusses effective presentation strategies, emphasizing the importance of storytelling to engage an audience and enhance memory retention. It advises presenters to build narratives first and then create visual aids that complement the spoken content without replicating it. Additionally, it highlights the significance of design choices in slides for maintaining audience interest and effectively conveying insights.

- 52. BENEFITS OF FIBER: GATHER LIGHT • ALLOW LIGHT FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE SAME INSTRUMENT. • SIMULTANEOUS OBSERVATION OF LARGE NUMBER OF TARGET OBJECTS (FIBER BUNDLES): MULTI- OBJECT SPECTROSCOPY (MOS). • CLASSICALLY (HOLES/SLITS): TELESCOPE (FIELD OF VIEW: 0.5~A FEW DEGREES) VS SPECTROGRAPH (FIELD OF VIEW: A FEW ARC MINUTES) =>LIMITED OBSERVATION AT ANY GIVEN TIME => SMALL NUMBER STATISTICS/SMALL SAMPLE (STUDY OF DYNAMIC PROCESS OF CLUSTERS/GALAXIES REQUIRES AT LEAST 100~1000 OBJECTS SIMULTANEOUSLY); • FAINT OBJECTS: TAKE HOURS TO BUILD UP ENOUGH SIGNAL IN THE SPECTRUM. (~10 PHOTONS/HR) • SOLUTION: LARGE NUMBER OF FIBERS, EACH INPUT END PLACED AT THE FOCAL SURFACE POSITION CORRESPONDING TO THE LOCATION OF THE IMAGED TARGET; EACH OUTPUT LINED UP ALONG THE SPECTROGRAPH SLIT. • DATA COLLECTION NOW RESTRICTED BY TELESCOPE FIELD OF VIEW, # OF FIBERS, SIZE OF DETECTOR.
- 53. BENEFITS OF FIBER: GATHER LIGHT • HUNDREDS OF TARGETS VS JUST ONE; A GROUP IN CHINA: 4-M TELESCOPE, 5° FIELD OF VIEW, 4000 FIBERS. • EXAMPLE OF NEW RESEARCH: HEXABUNDLES • EASY TO PRODUCE, SIMPLE TO INSTALL; • SUPER-WIDE FIELD, ADAPTIVE TO SEEING; • LESS SENSITIVE TO BLURRING (SEEING); • LESS SENSITIVE TO SOURCE ASYMMETRY.
