The anticipated requirements and operating conditions are considered for using a mid-infrared array camera in broad- and narrow-band solar imaging observations. The array camera system was designed for high-background 5–18 μm general astronomical imaging observations. The electronic and optical design of the camera, its photometric characteristics, examples of observational results, and the requirements for imaging in both high- and low-background solar applications are discussed.
