A series of far-IR Michelson interferometers utilizing the rapid-scanning technique have been designed and built for balloon-borne measurement of the emission spectrum of the stratosphere. Design criteria for such instrumentation are presented, and details of the evolution of these designs are discussed, including liquid helium-cooled bolometer detector systems, internal blackbody calibration, and atmospheric limb-scanning. Stratospheric emission spectra between 30 kaysers and 110 kaysers at a resolution of 0.07 kayser are presented as examples of results taken at balloon altitudes, and the merits of this type of instrumentation for monitoring stratospheric trace gas constituent concentrations are discussed.
