The first day of the conference “Science with the GTC” which is held in Puebla (Mexico) was focused on the scientific results obtained with OSIRIS, an optical instrument for imaging and spectroscopy. On the second day CanariCam, a camera-spectrograph-polarimeter in the middle infrared competed for attention. The two instruments are attached to the Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC). The GTC works at optical and infrared wavelengths, and is sited in the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) on the Island of La Palma (Canary Islands).
