AMiBA's "body" consists of a hexagonal platform atop at hexapod mount. Instead of the giant lens of an optical telescope, seven 60-centimeter dishes are mounted atop the platform in an arrangement that makes it look like some kind of strange beast straight out of a science fiction film.
AMiBA 外型跟一般人印象中、有著巨大鏡頭的光學望遠鏡大異其趣。它的主體由 6 隻機架支撐著被研究人員戲稱為「大白」的六角形平台，平台中央則安裝著 7 個直徑 60 公分的碟型天線，看起來就像在科幻片才會出現的裝置。
