Scientific paper

The IR Space Observatory's camera (ISOCAM) will map the sky in the 2.5-17 micron spectral region at various spatial and spectral resolutions. Polarization mapping will also be possible. ISOCAM's imaging capability across a 3-arcmin field of view will be furnished by two 32 x 32 arrays of IR detectors, one of which operates in the 2.5-5.5 micron range using an InSb CID array while the other covers the 4-17 micron range with a Si:Ga direct-readout array. Different magnification factors for matching the fixed pixel size to the desired pixel field-of-view are provided by four different wheel-mounted lenses.
