CAT（泰米斯切伦科夫阵列）成像望远镜，配备了一个甚高清晰度照相机（546个快速光电管，间距为0.12°，由54个较大的管包围在两个保护环中），于1996年秋季在前太阳能发电厂泰米斯（法国）开始运行。利用大气切伦科夫技术，它可以探测和识别能量在250 GeV到几十TeV之间的极高能量γ射线。该仪器，它已经发现了三个来源（蟹状星云，Markarian 421和Markarian 501），详细介绍。
The CAT (Cherenkov Array at Thémis) imaging telescope, equipped with a very-high-definition camera (546 fast phototubes with 0.12° spacing surrounded by 54 larger tubes in two guard rings) started operation in Autumn 1996 on the site of the former solar plant Thémis (France). Using the atmospheric Cherenkov technique, it detects and identifies very high energy γ-rays in the range 250GeV to a few tens of TeV. The instrument, which has detected three sources (Crab nebula, Markarian 421 and Markarian 501), is described in detail.
