The photometer provides to the Large Space Telescope (LST) the capability to perform both high speed point photometry and, through the use of the area detector in photon counting, high resolution imagery with very wide dynamic range. The instrument design has evolved concurrently with the development of LST systems and concepts for orbital operations and maintenance. The photometer accomplishes point photometry with high precision and can be read at intervals as small as 100 microsec to define the output curve of a pulsar. The imaging photometry is done at two scale, f/24 and f/96 with near diffraction limited performance on an intensified charge coupled device with an array of 160 by 100 elements.
