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 (
pixels), and a
field of view of 
. This paper describes the design of the
optical system and the optical baffles of the OMC.
