The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: the mechanical manufacturing design of the cryostat

MICADO, the Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observation, will be one of the first light instruments for the 39m Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile on the Cerro Armazones mountain. MICADO will operate with different modes (standard imaging, astrometry, coronagraphy and spectroscopy) in the near infrared (NIR) wavelength range. The continuous LN2 flow and bath (radiation shields) cryostat, which will operate at 82 K, is the centerpiece of the instrument, housing all major subsystems such as the cold optics, the mechanisms with filters and masks, and the detectors. In this poster we provide a detailed description of the mechanical manufacturing design of the MICADO cryostat.
