We have assessed the image quality of the WFC3 UVIS channel on orbit, following its alignment to the HST OTA. Point spread function measurements of ~100 stars over the field were made in the UV (F275W) and red (F621M) and compared to model computations and CEI specifications. Deep, core-saturated images of a standard star, sampling the field at 5 locations, were also obtained to evaluate the PSF wings. All encircled energy specifications are met or exceeded, as expected from previous ground testing and modeling results. The optical model has been correlated to the observed PSF properties and may be used to predict performance over the full UVIS spectral range.
