Although designed as a pointed infrared observatory for detailed studies of selected objects, the ISO satellite has remarkable capabilities for studying faint surface brightness sources and for helping to disentangle the overlaying background components. The 1993 launch of ISO is timely as it follows the COBE mission and offers a large guest observer program for which preparations can now be made.
