Scientific paper

ISAAC was offered to the ESO astronomical community on April 1st, 1999, as one of the first two VLT instruments installed at UT1-Antu. ISAAC (Infrared Spectrometer And Array Camera) is a 1-5 mm imager and spectrometer and has been fully developed by ESO (P.I. Alan Moorwood). Figure 1 shows it mounted on the adaptor/rotator of the Nasmyth B focus. Following integration and extensive testing in Garching, ISAAC was delivered to the Paranal Observatory in June 1998, where it was re-assembled and re-tested in the Integration Laboratory prior to installation on the telescope as scheduled. There were two commissioning periods, in November 1998 and in February 1999 (Moorwood et al., 1998; Moorwood et al., 1999).
