IRCAM manual
 IRCAM/TUFTI Manual
IRCAM was removed from the telescope in August 2002 to allow the installation
of the new 1-5 micron imager/spectrometer
UIST
and is no longer available. This manual is offered to assist those
analysing existing IRCAM data. IRCAM was a cooled 1-5 micron camera with
a 256x256 InSb array with 30 micron
pixels. In Fall 1999 IRCAM was reconfigured
to have a plate
scale of 0.081 arcsec per pixel with a
field of view of 20.8 arcseconds. IRCAM/TUFTI (Thermal-UFTI)
was designed to complement
UFTI and to be used in the thermal regime although
standard 1-2.5 micron filters were also offered.
Linear
polarimetry with the reconfigured IRCAM was available
using a warm half waveplate and focal plane mask with a cold Wollaston prism
for simultaneous o- and e- ray photometry.
The Fabry-Perot interferometer for the K window is
available with
UFTI.
Dr Sandy Leggett is the instrument scientist responsible for IRCAM, and
should be contacted with all IRCAM enquiries. Her email address is
