Imager
The Imager module has a combined FOV for the imager and coronagraph/low-resolution spectrometer modes. The coronagraph masks are placed at a fixed location on one edge of the imager field. The light is collimated and, at the pupil image formed by the collimator, a filter wheel holds the imaging filters, Lyot stops and filters for the coronograph and a pair of prisms for the low-resolution 5-10 µm spectroscopy. A camera then images the field (or spectrum) onto the single 1kx1k detector.
The Imager is built by CEA Saclay
