The Large APEX BOlometer CAmera, LABOCA, has been commissioned for operation as a new facility instrument
at the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment 12 m submillimeter telescope.
This new 295-bolometer total power camera, operating in the 870 
m atmospheric window,
combined with the high efficiency of APEX and the excellent atmospheric transmission at the site,
offers unprecedented capability in mapping submillimeter continuum emission for a wide range of astronomical purposes.
Key words: instrumentation: detectors / instrumentation: photometers / submillimeter / methods: observational
