佛罗里达大学正在开发一种名为 GatirCam 的中红外成像仪，主要用于（但不仅限于）位于智利 Cerro Pachon 的南半球双子座望远镜。 GatirCam 的主要特点是其全反射光学器件、极高的机械刚性，以及相关电子器件与在类似仪器上成功使用的电子器件非常相似。 GatirCam 的设计研究表明，它将满足或超过图像质量和性能的所有关键要求。目前正在考虑在 GatirCam 中实施低分辨率光谱模式。
The University of Florida is developing the mid-IR imager, called GatirCam, to be used primarily, but not solely, at the southern hemisphere Gemini telescope at Cerro Pachon, Chile. Key features of GatirCam are its fully reflective optics, its very high mechanical rigidity, and the fact that the associated electronics are very similar to those is in use successfully on similar instrumentation. Design studies for GatirCam indicate that it will meet or exceed all critical requirements of image quality and performance. A low-resolution spectroscopic mode is also currently under consideration for implementation in GatirCam.
