Instruments and Projects
The DEdicated MONitor of EXotransits (DEMONEX)
DEMONEX was a 20-inch robotic telescope for dedicated exoplanet transit monitoring.
Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT)
KELT, OSU's first fully-robotic telescope, eventually discovered 26 transiting exoplanets around bright stars.
Yale 1m 4K CCD Camera (Y4KCam)
Y4KCam was a wide-field CCD imager and filter wheel system deployed on the CTIO Yale 1-m telescope for the SMARTS project.
RETROCAM
RETROCAM was an auxiliary CCD camera that could be rapidly inserted into the optical beam of the MDM 2.4 m telescope to enable concurrent synoptic observing.
Dutch ANDICAM (DANDICAM)
DANDICAM is the clone of ANDICAM built for the Dutch ASTRON agency and used at the SAAO 1m from 1999 to 2004.
A Novel Dual Imaging CAMera (ANDICAM)
ANDICAM was the first 2-channel instrument built by the ISL and operated for 21 years at CTIO taking millions of CCD and IR images.
TIFKAM
TIFKAM was OSU's second IR instrument, its name means The Instrument Formerly Known as MOSAIC.
Ohio State InfraRed Imager/Spectrometer (OSIRIS)
The Ohio State InfraRed Imager/Spectrometer (OSIRIS) was the first infrared instrument built by the ISL and used at Lowell, CTIO, and SOAR.
Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrograph (IFPS)
The Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrograph (IFPS) for the 1.8m Perkins telescope was the first instrument built from concept to commissioning by the ISL.
