ISOCAM: Performance and Astronomical Highlights

All along the ISO mission, the ISOCAM camera gathered very exciting results.

Its spectacular infrared viewing of the Universe sheds new light on the genesis and properties of the interstellar dust, on the birth of young stars embedded in dark clouds as well as on bursts of star formation in external galaxies.

Deep surveys in the mid infrared bring new information on the evolution of galaxies at $\rm z < 2$.
