Descripción
We present the dual IR camera CID for the 2.12 m telescope of the
Observatorio Astronomico Nacional de Mexico, IA-UNAM. The system
consists of two separate cameras/spectrographs that operate in different
regions of the IR spectrum. In the near IR, CID comprises a direct
imaging camera with wide band filters, a CVF, and a low resolution
spectrograph employing an InSb 256 x 256 detector. In the mid IR, CID
uses a BIB 128 x 128 detector for direct imaging in 10 and 20 microns.
Optics and mechanics of CID were developed at IR-Labs (Tucson). The
electronics was developed by R. Leach (S. Diego). General design,
construction of auxiliary optics (oscillating secondary mirror),
necessary modifications and optimization of the electronics, and
acquisition software were carried out at OAN/ UNAM. The compact design
of the instruments allow them to share a single dewar and the cryogenics
system.
