摘要：

We are developing a new infrared camera - MAX38 (Mid-infrared Astronomical eXplorer) - for ground-based mid-infrared (8-38 microns) observations. This spectral region will be very important for the study of planetary disks. The MAX38 will be attached on the University of Tokyo Atacama 1.0-meter telescope, which is the world's highest infrared telescope, at the summit of Co. Chajnantor (altitude 5,640 meters), in Chile's Atacama Desert. Thanks to the high altitude and dry weather condition of the site we can access the 30-micron wavelength region from ground-based telescopes for the first time.
