This paper describes and presents the main characteristics of a series of simulation-measurement facilities for studying IR photodetectors and telescopes under conditions of low-level background irradiation. It shows that multifunctional studies of IR devices are possible on apparatus based on a modular arrangement of separate deeply cooled simulation and diagnostic systems. Along with sufficient completeness of the characteristics being studied, this apparatus excels other existing apparatus of this class in most economical indicators, including capital cost, energy consumption, etc. 6 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
