contents Canaricam: capabilities and current status C. Packham C. M. Telesco Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas METHODS: OBSERVATIONAL INSTRUMENTATION: POLARIMETERS INSTRUMENTATION: MISCELLANEOUS INSTRUMENTATION: SPECTROGRAPHS The University of Florida has developed a versitile mid-infrared camera for the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio CA-NARIAS. The CanariCam instrument uses a single 320240 pixel arsenic-doped silicon detector, coolded toless than 10K. CanariCam will be ready for 1st light observations on the GTC, o ering di raction limitedimaging through an extensive set of lters, low- and moderate-resolution spectroscopy, a coronographic modeand, for the rst time at mid-infrared wavelengths, a dual-beam polarimeter mode.
