Details for the measured laboratory values of the plate scale, imaging field of view, image quality, and imaging throughput in various filters are provided here. These numbers are for FLAMINGOS-2 with the f/16 beam.
- Plate scale: 0.18 arcsec/pixel
- Imaging field of view: 371.18 arcsec2 = 6.19 arcmin2
- Image quality: The specs are: 50% encircled energy (EE) in 25 microns diameter; 80% EE in 43 microns diameter at the detector (18 microns/pixel). The delivered image quality is as expected. Please check the image quality link for information related to the recent work done to improve the image quality.
- Net imaging throughput for the system (laboratory curves):
