Scientific paper

Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), a panchromatic UV/Optical/IR imager being developed for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), underwent a lengthy thermal-vacuum testing and calibration process during the summer of 2007. A full suite of instrument calibrations was performed, including measurements of basic detector properties such as dark current, read noise, flat field response, gain, and linearity. System level tests of throughput, optical imaging performance, grism calibrations, IR thermal background levels, and image stability were also performed. An overview of all calibration results will be presented.
