Camera & Imaging Properties
Details for the measured laboratory values of the plate scale, imaging field of view, image quality, and imaging throughput in various filters are provided here. These numbers are for FLAMINGOS-2 with the f/16 beam.
- Plate scale: 0.18 arcsec/pixel
- Imaging field of view: 371.18 arcsec2 = 6.19 arcmin2
- Image quality: 50% encircled energy (EE) in 25 microns diameter; 80% EE in 43 microns diameter at the detector (18 microns/pixel)
- Net imaging throughput for the system (laboratory curves):
