Scientific paper

The Advanced Camera for the Hubble Space Telescope has three cameras. The first, the Wide Field Camera, will be a high- throughput, wide field, 4096 X 4096 pixel CCD optical and I-band camera that is half-critically sampled at 500 nm. The second, the High Resolution Camera (HRC), is a 1024 X 1024 pixel CCD camera that is critically sampled at 500 nm. The HRC has a 26 inch X 29 inch field of view and 29 percent throughput at 250 nm. The HRC optical path includes a coronagraph that will improve the HST contrast near bright objects by a factor of approximately 10 at 900 nm. The third camera, the solar-blind camera, is a far-UV, pulse-counting array that has a relatively high throughput over a 26 inch X 29 inch field of view. The advanced camera for surveys will increase HST's capability for surveys and discovery by a factor of approximately 10 at 800 nm.
