Its Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics system uses natural guide-stars and the layer-oriented, multiple-field of view approach for high sky coverage and eventual interferometric beam combination. We describe LINC-NIRVANA's particular flavour of MCAO and its associated challenges, and report on final lab integration and system level testing. LINC-NIRVANA is currently at the telescope undergoing final alignment and tests before First Light late this fall.STAMPAenMCAO with LINC-NIRVANA at LBT: preparing for first lightConference paper10.1117/12.22325962-s2.0-85002271178000387429700081https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9909/1/MCAO-with-LINC-NIRVANA-at-LBT--preparing-for-first/10.1117/12.2232596.full2016SPIE.9909E..2UHFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation
