Imaging

The properties of NIRI in imaging mode are summarized in the following sections. Three selectable fields of view and pixel scales are available. With adaptive optics NIRI is available at f/32 for J-L' imaging (but see caveats for L'), and at f/14 for imaging out to 2.5 microns due to the increased thermal background. Imaging at L' is impossible at f/6 and marginally possible at f/14. M' imaging is impossible at f/6 and f/14. In practice both the L' and M bands are usually observed at f/32.
