| Manufacturer | Raytheon SBRC |
| Design | Impurity-band Conductor (IBC) |
| Multiplexer | CRC-774 |
| Format | 320x240 pixels |
| Pixel Size | 50 micron |
| # Outputs | 16 |
| Well Depth | Switchable: Low Background ~ 3e6 e- (180 e- / ADU) High Background ~ 1e7 e- (500 e- / ADU) |
| Active Layer | Si:As |
| Wavelength range | 5-28 micron |
See this page about Michelle and T-ReCS data characteristics for more detector-related information about Michelle data, including pattern noise and artefacts caused by very bright objects.
