2024年8月22日 · The Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) is Webb’s primary imager that covers the infrared wavelength range 0.6 to 5 microns. NIRCam detects light from: the earliest stars and galaxies in the process of formation, the population of stars in nearby galaxies, as well as young stars in the Milky Way and Kuiper Belt objects.

NIRCam is the Near InfraRed CAMera for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) which launched on December 25, 2021. JWST is an infrared-optimized 6.5-m cryogenic telescope that will have unprecedented sensitivity in the near and mid-infrared ( 1 - 28.5 microns).

NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera) is an instrument aboard the James Webb Space Telescope. It has two major tasks, as an imager from 0.6 to 5 μm wavelength, and as a wavefront sensor to keep the 18-section mirrors functioning as one.

2022年1月6日 · NIR (Near-Infrared) is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is invisible to the naked eye. With an intense beam of infrared rays that ranges between 650nm to 950nm, any object can be visualized with high precision. The NIR response is free from color dependency and can be easily interpreted by a human observer.

Webb’s NIRCam is the observatory’s primary camera, and will simultaneously image the cosmos in two different infrared ranges. Taking advantage of Webb’s exquisite image quality and large primary mirror, the instrument will acquire some of the deepest (i.e. farthest away) near-infrared images ever obtained, detecting light from the first ...

2024年11月2日 · Learn how near-infrared (NIR) cameras capture invisible objects and enhance imaging in low light conditions. Learn the basics and discover how it works.

2021年7月15日 · The Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) is one of Webb’s four scientific instruments. NIRCam is Webb’s primary near-infrared imager, providing high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy for a wide variety of investigations.

The JWST Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) offers imaging, coronagraphy, wide field slitless spectroscopy, and time-series monitoring both in imaging and spectroscopy, as well as wavefront sensing measurements for JWST mirror alignment.

The new CMOS technology has made NIR optimization affordable, through a line of industrial cameras with excellent sensitivity in the near-infrared, which in turn has boosted their share on the machine vision market.

The Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) is one of the four science instruments of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Its high sensitivity, high spatial resolution images over the 0.6 − 5 µm wavelength region will be essential for making significant findings in many science areas as well as for aligning the JWST primary mirror segments and ...
