Paper Abstract
LINC-NIRVANA is the IR Fizeau interferometric imager that will be installed within a couple of years on the Large
Binocular Telescope (LBT) in Arizona. Here we present a particular sub-system, the so-called Patrol Camera (PC),
which has been now completed, along with the results of the laboratory tests. It images (in the range 600-900 nm) the
same 2 arcmin FoV seen by the Medium-High Wavefront Sensor (MHWS), adequately sampled to provide the MHWS
star enlargers with the positions of the FoV stars with an accuracy of 0.1 arcsec. To this aim a diffraction-limited
performance is not required, while a distortion free focal plane is needed to provide a suitable astrometric output. Two
identical systems have been realized, one for each single arm, which corresponds to each single telescope. We give here
the details concerning the optical and mechanical layout, as well as the CCD and the control system. The interfaces (mainly software procedures) with LINC-NIRVANA (L-N) are also presented.
