We present a detailed reduction of a mid-infrared 12 μm (LW10 filter) ISOCAM open time observation performed on the ESOSculptor
Survey field (Arnouts et al. 1997, A&AS, 124, 163). A complete catalogue of 142 sources (120 galaxies and 22 stars),
detected with high significance (equivalent to 5σ), is presented above an integrated flux density of 0.24 mJy. Star/galaxy separation
is performed by a detailed study of colour-colour diagrams. The catalogue is complete to 1 mJy and, below this flux density, the
incompleteness is corrected using two independent methods. The first method uses stars and the second uses optical counterparts of
the ISOCAM galaxies; these methods yield consistent results. We also apply an empirical flux density calibration using stars in the
field. For each star, the 12 μm flux density is derived by fitting opt...
Context. Multi-wavelength galaxy number counts provide clues to the nature of galaxy evolution. The interpretation per galaxy type of
the mid-IR faint counts obtained with ISO and Spitzer, consistent with the analysis of deep UV-optical-near IR galaxy counts, provide
new constraints on the dust and stellar emission. Discovering the nature of new populations, such as high redshift ultra-luminous
(≥10^(12) L_⊙) infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), is also crucial for understanding galaxy evolution at high redshifts.
Aims. We first present the faint galaxy counts at 12 μm from the catalogue of the ISO-ESO-Sculptor Survey (ISO-ESS) published in a
companion article (Seymour et al. 2007a, A&A, 475, 791). They go down to 0.31 mJy after corrections for incompleteness. We verify
the consistency with the existing ISO number counts at 15 μm. Then we...
