title = "Compact and versatile far-infrared imager for SIRTF",
abstract = "We present the design for the multiband imaging photometer for SIRTF (MIPS). MIPS is a versatile instrument that provides diffraction-limited imaging at 30 μm, 70 μm, and 160 μm. MIPS also provides low resolution (5%) spectroscopy in the 50 - 100 μm wavelength range to allow the determination of far-infrared spectral energy distributions. The 70 μm array can also be used in a special high resolution mode that supports image reconstruction techniques for improved angular resolution. The one cryogenic mechanism on MIPS is a scanning mirror based on a space-qualified design used on the Infrared Space Observatory. We describe modifications to the scan mechanism to optimize it for use at very long wavelengths.",
