| NAME |
Mars Exploration Rover Spirit Microscopic Imager
|
| TYPE |
Imager
|
| DESCRIPTION |
The Mars Exploration Rover Spirit (MER 2) Microscopic Imager (MI) was a fixed-focus camera mounted on the end of an extendable instrument arm, the Instrument Deployment Device (IDD). The MI was designed to acquire images at a spatial resolution of 30 microns/pixel over a broad spectral range (400 - 700 nm). MI data was used to place other MER instrument data in context and to aid in petrologic and geologic interpretations of rocks and soils on Mars.
