The middle-aged radio, X-ray and gamma-ray pulsar B1055-52 is one of the few pulsars that allow a multiwavelength study of pulsar radiation. An optical counterpart of the pulsar has been detected with the HST FOC, but it was observed in only one filter F342W, m=24.9. To understand the nature of the pulsar radiation, its spectrum must be measured in a broad wavelegth range. We propose imaging observations of the pulsar's counterpart with WFPC2 in the red part of the spectrum and ACS/SBC in the UV part to measure the broadband spectral distribution, compare it with the X-ray spectrum, and investigate the thermal and magnetospheric components of the pulsar's radiation.;
