Scientific paper

A review of the capabilities of the near-IR camera and multi-object spectrometer (NICMOS) on the Hubble Space Telescope and of the environment in which the instrument operates is presented, together with the observing strategies which can be adopted to maximize the scientific return from the instrument. The wavelength dependence and intensity of the background detected by NICMOS, cosmic-ray impacts, image quality, and photometric calibrations are discussed. Examples of actual observations performed with NICMOS in wavebands which are difficult to access from the ground are shown.
