Scientific paper

The European Southern Observatory's Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera (EFOSC) has been available for general use in low dispersion spectroscopy and direct imaging modes since April 1985; this low dispersion spectrograph is mated with the ESO's 3.6 m telescope. The EFOSC configuration consists of a focal reducer which converts the F/8 telescope beam to F/2.5, entirely by means of lens combinations. Attention is given to the efficiency and wavelength coverage in the imaging and spectroscopic modes.
