中红外仪器 (MIRI) 将詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜 (JWST) 的观测范围扩大到 28.5 μm。它提供亚弧秒分辨率成像、高灵敏度日冕学和光谱学，分辨率为 λ/Δλ ∼ 100–3500，高分辨率模式采用积分场单元来提供空间数据立方体。由此产生的广泛功能将使该波长范围的研究取得巨大进展。本概述描述了 JWST 获得此功能的历史。它讨论了仪器光学器件、探测器阵列和将所有温度保持在大约 7 K 的低温冷却器的基本属性。它简要描述了数据管道和 JWST 调试期间展示的仪器性能。最重要的是，望远镜和 MIRI 都按照发射前预测设定的标准运行，并且 MIRI 的所有功能都在运行，甚至比预期的水平更好。该论文还旨在作为关于 MIRI 不同方面的更详细论文的路线图。
The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) extends the reach of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to 28.5 μm. It provides subarcsecond-resolution imaging, high sensitivity coronagraphy, and spectroscopy at resolutions of λ/Δλ ∼ 100–3500, with the high-resolution mode employing an integral field unit to provide spatial data cubes. The resulting broad suite of capabilities will enable huge advances in studies over this wavelength range. This overview describes the history of acquiring this capability for JWST. It discusses the basic attributes of the instrument optics, the detector arrays, and the cryocooler that keeps everything at approximately 7 K. It gives a short description of the data pipeline and of the instrument performance demonstrated during JWST commissioning. The bottom line is that the telescope and MIRI are both operating to the standards set by pre-launch predictions, and all of the MIRI capabilities are operating at, or even a bit better than, the level that had been expected. The paper is also designed to act as a roadmap to more detailed papers on different aspects of MIRI.
