The MIMIZUKU is the first-generation mid-infrared instrument for the TAO 6.5-m telescope. It challenges to prove the origin of dust and the formation of planets with its unique capabilities, wide wavelength coverage and precise calibration capability. The wide wavelength coverage (2–38 im) is achieved by three switchable cameras, NIR, MIR-S, and MIR-L. The specifications of the cameras are revised. A 5im-cutoff HAWAII-1RG is decided to be installed in the NIR camera. The optical design of the MIR-L camera is modified to avoid detector saturation. Its final F-number is extended from 5.2 to 10.5. With these modifications, the field of view of the NIR and MIR-L camera becomes 1.2’× 1.2’and 31”× 31”, respectively. The sensitivity of each camera is estimated based on the revised specifications. The precise calibration is achieved by the “Field Stacker” mechanism, which enables the simultaneous observation of the target and the calibration object in different fields. The up-and-down motion of the cryostat (∼ 1 t), critical for the Field Stacker, is confirmed to have enough speed (4 mm/s) and position accuracy (∼ 50 im). A control panel for the Field Stacker is completed, and its controllers are successfully installed. The current specifications and the development status are reported.
