The Faint Object Camera
Abstract
The Faint Object Camera fully exploits the spatial resolution capability of the Space Telescope on the very faintest detectable objects over a broad wavelength range. A full complement of filters, objective prisms and polarizers, a choice of coronograhic masks, and a variety of scan formats extend the scientific versatility of the direct imaging mode. In addition, the Faint Object Camera provides the unique facility of long-slit spectroscopy to Space Telescope observers.
