MICADO
(Multi-Adaptive Optics Imaging Camera for Deep Observations, ELT-CAM)
(camera planned for E-ELT)
MICADO
(for Multi-Adaptive Optics Imaging Camera for Deep Observations)
is a planned near-infrared camera
intended to be one of the first instruments
installed on the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), i.e., a first-light instrument.
It will also include a coronagraph and
also function as a spectrograph with on the order of
R~20,000.
