The Multi-adaptive optics Imaging CamerA for Deep Observations (MICADO)
will image a field of view of nearly 1 arcminute at the diffraction
limit of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), making use of the adaptive
optics correction provided by single-conjugate adaptive optics (SCAO)
and multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO). Its simple and robust design
will yield an unprecedented combination of sensitivity and resolution
across the field. This article outlines the characteristics of the
observing modes offered and illustrates each of them with an
astrophysical application. Potential users can explore their own ideas
using the data simulator ScopeSim.
