Scientific paper

The University of Florida has developed a versitile mid-infrared camera for the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS. The CanariCam instrument uses a single 320×240 pixel arsenic-doped silicon detector, coolded to less than 10K. CanariCam will be ready for 1st light observations on the GTC, offering diffraction limited imaging through an extensive set of filters, low- and moderate-resolution spectroscopy, a coronographic mode and, for the first time at mid-infrared wavelengths, a dual-beam polarimeter mode. We breifly describe the instrument and present recent laboratory testing of the instrument.
