Scientific paper

An infrared spectrophotometer built for a 182 cm IR telescope located at 1350 m above sea level in Italy is described. The instrument has an IR source modulation system at the focal plane and can be used for photometric measurements and mapping of extended sources. Among other characteristics of the instrument, the attitude control system is referred to a star in the field of view, the detectors are designed to minimize noise signals from the secondary mirror support, and the resolution (wavelength increment devided by wavelength) is 0.01 in the interval between 1 and 5 microns. The electronic circuits used and the InSb detector are also described.
