I was wondering what kind of paint is used for radio telescopes, generally.
In the case of the Green Bank Telescope, the idea is to get white at visible wavelengths, black at mid-infrared, and transparent at radio wavelengths. Titanium dioxide based paint was one substance cited on the internet. Is this universally true of all dish style radio telescopes?
