VISIR - The VLT Imager and Spectrometer for the mid-InfraRed is an
instrument providing diffraction limited, high sensitivity imaging in
the two mid-infrared atmospheric windows: the N band between 8 and 13
microns and the Q band between 16.5 and 24.5 microns. It is also
capable of taking long-slit spectroscopic observations with spectral
resolution ranging from 1550 to 30000.
