ISOCAM will provide imaging capabilities across a field of view of
up to 3 arcmin diameter. It consists of two optical channels, one
used at a time, each of which contains a pixels
infrared detector array. The short wavelength channel (SW)
operates between 2.5 and 5.2
m, the long wavelength channel
(LW) between 4 and 17
m. Each channel includes different
magnification lenses and filters.
