Meet MICADO, a super-camera for the ELT! | ELT Updates
MICADO (https://elt.eso.org/instrument/MICADO/) will be one of the first-generation instruments of ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT — http://elt.eso.org/). MICADO stands for Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observations, will take high-resolution images of the Universe at near-infrared wavelengths. This makes the instrument ideal for identifying exoplanets, but also for resolving individual stars in other galaxies and investigating the mysterious centre of the Milky Way. This documentary will give you a unique behind-the-scenes look at how MICADO works, the challenges of designing such a complex instrument, and how it will change our understanding of the cosmos once it’s operational at the ELT.
