Instruments and Projects
Korean Microlensing Telescope Network Cameras (KMTCam)
The three KMTNet prime focus CCD cameras are dedicated to gravitational microlensing searches for exoplanets on custom-designed 1.6m telescopes.
KPNO/CTIO Ohio State Multi-Object Spectrographs (K/COSMOS)
The Kitt Peak/CTIO Ohio State Multi-Object Spectrographs (K/COSMOS) are modified versions of the OSMOS spectrograph for the 4-m Mayall and Blanco telescopes.
Buckeye 12-position Filter Wheels
The ISL built three copies of our 12-position "Buckeye" automated filter wheel for use at CTIO and MDM between 2003 and 2008.
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.
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.
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.
