Abstract
The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) will observe the optical emission from the main targets of the gamma-ray instruments onboard the ESA mission INTEGRAL. The OMC is based on a refractive optics with an aperture of 50 mm focused onto a large format CCD (1024 x 2048 pixels), and a field of view of 5degrx5 degr . This paper describes the design of the optical system and the optical baffles of the OMC.
