The Antarctic Multiband Infrared Camera (AMICA) is a double channel camera operating in the 2–28 m infrared domain (KLMNQ bands) that will allow to characterize and exploit the exceptional advantages for Astronomy, expected from Dome C in Antarctica. The development of the camera control system is at its final stage. After the investigation of appropriate solutions against the critical environment, a reliable instrumentation has been developed. It is currently being integrated and tested to ensure the correct execution of automatic operations. Once it will be mounted on the International Robotic Antarctic Infrared Telescope (IRAIT), AMICA and its equipment will contribute to the accomplishment of a fully autonomous observatory.

We describe the Faint Object infraRed CAmera for the SOFIA Telescope (FORCAST) which is presently operating as a facility instrument on the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). FORCAST provides imaging and moderate resolution spectroscopy capability over the 5–40[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m wavelength range. In imaging mode, FORCAST has a 3.4[Formula: see text] field-of-view with 0.768[Formula: see text] pixels. Using grisms, FORCAST provides long-slit low-resolution ([Formula: see text]–300) and short-slit, cross-dispersed medium-resolution spectroscopic modes ([Formula: see text]–1200) over select wavelengths. Preceded by both Spitzer and Herschel, the discovery phase space for FORCAST lies in providing unique photometric bands and/or spectroscopic coverage, higher spatial resolution and exploration of the brightest sources which typically saturate space observatories.

ISO's infrared camera was used to make deep mid-infrared (MIR) images through three gravitationally lensing clusters of galaxies. Observations were made at 7 μm and 15 μm covering more than 50 square arcminutes, with the lensing increasing the sensitivity to background sources significantly.A large number of MIR sources were detected behind the lenses and provide source counts, corrected for cluster contamination and lensing distortion effects, which exceed by a factor of 10 the expectation from local counts assuming a no-evolution model. The results are consistent with larger-area surveys and the detected population resolves a substantial fraction (of order 60%) of the background MIR radiation intensity into discrete sources.We discuss the evidence, in large part derived from lensing cluster observations, for overlap of the ISO 15 μm faint galaxy population with the 850 μm submillimetre and the 0.5 to 7 keV X-ray populations. We find that the ISO data shows substantial overlap with both the submillimetre and the X-ray source populations, with roughly 25% of ISO sources being detected at submillimetre wavelengths and a significant number of Chandra X-ray sources being detected in the ISO data.
