Magellan 1 - Baade Telescope - Instruments f/11
The Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph (IMACS) is a very versatile wide-field imager and multi-object spectrograph.
The FIRE (Folded port InfraRed Echellette) spectrograph is a moderate resolution near-infrared echellette.
The MagE (Magellan Echellette) Spectrograph is a moderate-resolution optical echellette.
Magellan II - Clay Telescope - Instruments f/11
The Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle (MIKE) is a high-throughput double echelle spectrograph.
The Low Dispersion Survey Spectrograph (LDSS3-C) is a high efficiency, wide-field multislit spectrograph.
Magellan II - Clay Telescope - Instruments f/5
Megacam is a large mosaic CCD camera with a 24' x 24' field-of-view. The camera uses 36 2048 x 4608 pixel CCDs with a scale of 0.08"/pixel. Megacam is operated in campaign mode at the f/5 CASS focus.
Magellan II - Clay Telescope - MagAO f/16
Magellan Adaptive Optics system (VisAO and CLIO2). Continuing commissioning and science operations.
