Dec 14, 2021 · Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, or NIRCam instrument, will be able to detect these extremely distant objects, and MIRI will help scientists confirm that these faint sources of light are clusters of first-generation stars, rather than second-generation stars that form later as a galaxy evolves.
May 10, 2022 · James Webb Space Telescope’s cameras. This is no ordinary camera array. Webb is designed solely to detect infrared light – a form of heat radiation – emitted by distant stars, planets and the clouds of gas and dust they’re born within.
Mar 25, 2020 · The XCAM C3D is a CubeSat camera system with proven flight-heritage having flown on both the UK Space Agency’s UKube-1 and AlSat Nano missions. The camera configuration is flexible with the ability to operate up to three camera heads per imager board.

Mar 1, 2021 · The CacheCam is a single cameras that's positioned on the rover's underbelly at the top of the sample cache. It's designed to see down the top of the sample tube and take microscopic pictures of the top of the sample material before the tube is sealed.
The Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) is Webb's primary imager that covers the infrared wavelength range 0.6 to 5 microns. NIRCam detects light from: the earliest stars and galaxies in the process of formation, the population of stars in nearby galaxies, as well as young stars in the Milky Way and Kuiper Belt objects.
