A liquid-cooled two-cryogen imaging camera for IR astronomy is examined. The camera is designed for use with a 58 x 62 indium antimonide photovoltaic hybrid array over the spectral range 1-5 microns. Two versions of the camera design are considered, one using reflective or transmissive optics, and the other using only transmissive optics. The mechanical, cryogenic, and optical design of the camera and the camera's mirror layouts and lens systems are described and illustrated. The observational performance of the camera is discussed and results are presented from astronomical studies using the camera.
