Jodrell Bank has been involved with [[Very Long Baseline Interferometry]] (VLBI) since the late 1960s; the Lovell telescope took part in the first transatlantic interferometer experiment in 1968, with other telescopes at [[Algonquin Radio Observatory|Algonquin]] and [[Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory|Penticton]] in Canada.<ref name="zenith_67">Lovell, ''Out of the Zenith'', pp. 67–68</ref> The Lovell Telescope and the Mark II telescopes are regularly used for VLBI with telescopes across Europe (the [[European VLBI Network]]), giving a resolution of around 0.001 [[arcseconds]].<ref name="interferometer1">{{cite web|url=http://www.jodrellbank.manchester.ac.uk/booklet/Merlin.html|title=The Merlin and VLBI National Facility|publisher=Jodrell Bank Observatory|access-date=2009-07-16|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080501163251/http://www.jodrellbank.manchester.ac.uk/booklet/Merlin.html|archive-date=1 May 2008}}</ref>
