Descripción
More than half square degree in the region of the Lockman Hole has been observed at 14.3μm with the ISOCAM camera on board ISO. We analyzed these data using the algorithm by Lari et al. (2001) detecting more than 270 sources with fluxes between 0.2 and 4 mJy. Thanks to ancillary optical data obtained with the wide field camera of the Isaac Newton telescope, we are able to find clear optical counterparts for 93% of the infrared sources. In the flux range where the survey is more than 80% complete (fluxes greater than 0.8 mJy), the counts are in good agreement with the recent results of Gruppioni et al. (2002) in the ELAIS South field.
