1.1 Short Instrument Overview

The ISO Photo-polarimeter ISOPHOT spans the full wavelength range accessible to ISO, from 2.5 out to 240 m. This coverage is achieved with various subinstruments whose wavelength range is given in the subsequent Table 1.1. For more details we refer to the ISOPHOT Observer's Manual.

 

Table 1.1:   Covered wavelength range and typical aperture sizes of ISOPHOT subinstruments. Note that for PHT-C the first aperture number denotes the pixel size, the second one the array size.

	subinstrument	detector	dimension	wavelength	typical
				range	aperture size
				[m]	[``]
	PHT-P	P1	1	3 - 17	5 - 180
		P2	1	15 - 29	23 - 180
		P3	1	40 - 130	52 - 180
	PHT-C	C100	3x3	40 - 130	43.5/138
		C200	2x2	100 - 240	89.4/182
