RESUMEN
El desarrollo científico-tecnológico de instrumentos ópticos en España tuvo una época de florecimiento en la década de los cuarenta y cincuenta del siglo XX. Esto fue debido al impulso de, primero, la Sección de Óptica del Instituto de Física Alonso de Santa Cruz, y, posteriormente, del Instituto de Óptica Daza de Valdés, fundado en 1946; ambas instituciones pertenecientes al Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. Sin embargo, la década de los sesenta supuso un declive de las capacidades y potencialidades adquiridas durante el periodo anterior. La historia de un telescopio, de tipo Maksutov, cuyo diseño y fabricación se realizaron en el Instituto de Óptica, nos sirve de hilo conductor para explicar el auge y declive de la óptica instrumental en España desde los años cuarenta a los setenta. Analizamos los factores involucrados, tanto internos (científicos y tecnológicos), como externos (condicionantes políticos y económicos) que determinaron este singular desarrollo que acabaría convirtiendo a la óptica instrumental en una de las áreas más relevantes en el panorama científico-tecnológico del primer franquismo.(AU)
ABSTRACT
The scientific-technological development of optical instruments in Spain had a flourishing period in the 1940s and 1950s. This was due to the impulse of, first, the Optics Section of the Institute of Physics Alonso de Santa Cruz, and later the Institute of Optics Daza de Valdés, founded in 1946; both institutions belonging to the Spanish National Research Council. However, during the 1960s, the capabilities and potential acquired during the previous period began to decline. The history of a Maksutov-type telescope, whose design and manufacture were carried out at the Institute of Optics, serves as a guiding thread to explain the rise and fall of optical instrumentation in Spain from the 40s up to the 70s. We analyze the factors involved, both internal (scientific and technological) and external (political and economic conditioning factors) which determined this singular development that would eventually turn optical instrumentation into one of the most relevant areas in the scientific-technological panorama of Early Francoism.(AU)
