We have completed the first set of science calibration tests of the UVIS channel of Wide-Field Camera 3. This document summarises the results of tests designed to measure the throughput, including data for the majority of the broad- and medium-band filters. We also present wavelength-dependent measurements of four filters (F218W, F225W, F300X and F606W) and the overall system throughput, including the pickoff mirror, camera optics and detector. The measured throughput is 20% higher than predicted at ?<270 nm, 3-5% lower at 280 - 350 nm and within 2% of expectation at ?>350 nm.
