A Great New Opportunity

The GTC+CanariCam will give diffraction-limited science

• At 8 microns the resolution is 0".18
• Can be made even better by image improvement

It has great dust penetration ability

• eg: star formation, Galactic Centre, AGN nuclei

CanariCam will be the first dedicated mid-IR instrument open to the Spanish community.

• It opens a whole new observing window.
• Optimised for high resolution science.
