我们展示 MAGNUM-MIP 的光学、机械和电子设计。 MAGNUM 项目计划在几年内通过远程和自动化操作对数百个活动星系核进行多色监测观测。 MAGNUM-MIP 有两个通道，可同时提供光学和红外宽带成像观测。红外通道采用SBRC InSb 256 x 256阵列，覆盖1至4微米的波长范围，光学通道采用1024 x 1024 SITE CCD，覆盖0.35微米至1微米。两个通道使用相同的光学器件和分束器。我们采用反射光学系统，以便在宽波长范围内获得良好的成像质量。由于监控预计将在最少的手动支持和维护的情况下远程进行数年，因此该摄像机设计为只需半年维护一次。它具有机械冷却器、低排气设计和自动真空系统。
We present the optical, mechanical and electronic design of MAGNUM-MIP. The MAGNUM project plans to carry out multi color monitoring observations for hundreds of AGNs over several years under remote and automated operation. MAGNUM- MIP has two channels that offer optical and IR broad-band imaging observations at the same time. The IR channel has a SBRC InSb 256 by 256 array which covers a wavelength range from 1 to 4 microns, and the optical channel uses a 1024 by 1024 SITE CCD which covers 0.35 micron to 1 micron. The two channels use the same optics and a beam splitter. We adopted a reflecting optical system in order to get good imaging quality over the wide wavelength range. Because the monitoring is expected to be carried out remotely for several years with minimum manual support and maintenance, the camera is designed to work with only semi-annual maintenance. It has a mechanical cooler, a low outgas design, and an automated vacuum system.
