摘要：

The search for galaxies at redshifts > 3 becomes increasingly difficult in the visible since most of the light emitted by these objects is redshifted into the near infrared (wavelengths > 1 micron), The recent development of high-performance near infrared arrays has made it practical to build a wide field survey instrument for operation in the near infrared part of the spectrum. CIRSI, the Cambridge Infrared Survey Instrument, uses four of the HAWAII-1 MCT arrays each of which has 1024 by 1024 pixels. This paper describes a number of the novel features of CIRSI and summarises the present performance achieved by CIRSI and the scientific programmes it is principally engaged in.
