Emanuele Pace Researcher pace@arcetri.astro.it He is the coordinator of the activities at XUVLab focussed on electro-optical technologies for space- and ground-based astrophysical experiments. His main interests are CCD detectors, innovative materials for X-ray and UV photodetection, such as synthetic diamond, photomultiplier tubes. He is co-I of the HERSCHEL/SCORE suborbital solar experiment where he is responsible for the visible and UV CCD detectors. Pace is also involved in the EUSO experiement to detect ultra-high energy cosmic rays from space. In that framework, he is the coordinator of the group working in Florence and cary out activities on the photomultiplier detectors, their optical adapters, the power supply system and finally the optical ground support equipment. Simone Puri Software Engineer His expertise is in the field of software interfaces and controls developed using the LabView platform. In particular, he developed the CCD control software and image analysis interface. Marco Romoli Researcher romoli@arcetri.astro.it He is the coordinator of the activities at XUVLab focussed on solar space missions and vacuum-UV polarimetry. In particular, Romoli is co-I of the suborbital experiment HERSCHEL/SCORE, where he is deputy-PI,involved in the optical design and the optical testing of the instruments. He was involved in SDO/SPECTRE mission and still in the Optical design of the Imaging UV coronagraph (UVCI) for ESA Solar Orbiter future mission. Romoli is also continuing is research activity on SOHO/UVCS data analysis. Gugliemo Rossi Student gugpilot@arcetri.astro.it Undergraduated student in Physics. He works on the electronic connections between the polarimeter and the visible-light detector for the UVCI coronagraph of the HERSCHEL mission. Within the same project he realized a 3D animation of the CCD camera components for educational purposes. Fabio Tosetti Student fabiot@arcetri.astro.it Graduating in Computer Science (expected in January 2005), he is interested in working in the field of high and low level hardware/software interfaces to astronomic instruments. His main abilities are project analysis and design; he has experience in software implementation in many languages (C, C++, Pascal, Assembler MIPS, Java, Java Servlets, ASP, HTML, Prolog). Currently he works to a SpaceWire interface beetwen a CCD Camera and a PC for HERSCHEL/SCORE suborbital mission.

Acknowledgements We wish to thank the Directors of the Departments of Organic Chemistry, Analytic Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the University of Florence and in particular Prof. F. De Sio for their precious help in setting up the clean room, by providing the two chemical benches, special instrumentation and many useful recipes. We also acknowledge the Director of the INFN, Prof. Enrico Jacopini, and Piero Del Carmine along with the Director of the Department of Physics of the University of Florence, Prof. Marcello Colocci, for providing us with instrumentation and arrangements previously under their responsibility. We are also grateful to the technicians and the personnel of our Department for their availability and their helpful presence in every difficult situation. We wish also to thank Ricardo S. Sussman for his efforts and useful discussions that allowed us to set up the clean room facilities and Prof. Noci for his contribution to the acquisition of important instrumentation and the arrangement of the laboratories. Last, but not the least, special thanks are for the previous Director of our Department, Prof. Claudio Chiuderi, who left his position in November, whose major contribution, efforts and suggestions have made our lab a reality.
