Scientific paper

ROSAT carries a payload of two co-aligned imaging telescopes: the German X-ray Telescope (XRT) which operates in the soft X-ray band (0.1 - 2 keV or 6 - 100 Å) and the UK Wide Field Camera (WFC) which operates in the XUV band (0.02 - 0.2 keV or 60 - 600 Å). The authors review the design and performance of the WFC. The instrument is a grazing incidence telescope comprising a set of 3 nested, Wolter-Schwarzschild Type I, gold-coated, aluminum mirrors, with a microchannel plate detector at their common focus. Thin plastic and metal film filters define the wavelength passbands.
