摘要

We propose a socio-historical framework for better understanding the evolution in the use of telescopes.We define two regimes of use: a general-purpose (or survey) one, where the telescope governs research, and adedicated one, in which the telescope is tailored to a specific project which includes a network of other tools. Thisconceptual framework is first applied to the history of the 80-cm reflector at the Toulouse Observatory, which wasinitially anchored in a general-purpose regime linked to astrometry. After a transition in the 1930s, it was integratedinto a dedicated regime centered on astrophysics. This evolution is compared to that of a very similar instrument,the 80-cm reflector at the Marseille Observatory, which was converted to a dedicated regime with the Fabry-Perotinterferometer around 1910, and, after a period of idleness, was again used in the survey mode after WWII. Tofurther validate our new concept, we apply it to the telescopes at the Washburn Observatory, the DominionAstrophysical Observatory and the Meudon Observatory. The uses of the different telescopes illustrate variouscombinations of the two regimes, which can be successive, simultaneous or alternating. This conceptual frameworkis likely to be applicable to other fields of pure and applied science.
