The nonfunctioning HRC has a 1024 x 1024 SITe CCD, with 21 x 21 µm pixels that provided ~0.028 x 0.025 arcsecond/pixel spatial resolution with critical sampling at 6300 е. This gave the HRC a nominal 29 x 26 arcsecond field of view. ... The ACS design incorporates two main optical channels: one for the WFC, and one which is shared by the HRC and...

SHORT DESCRIPTIONS OF INSTRUMENTS . ... Particle detector RIEP-2802 was developed and built in Russia. ... The combined Soviet-French ONCH-TBF onboard instrument had in memory modes the data only from several filter-banks in the range from 10 Hz to 16 kHz (while in the real-time telemetry modes, the measurements included 5-component wave-form data in the range 10 Hz - 1.5 kHz for 3 magnetic and 2 electric field components, or a wide-band mode in the range 10 Hz - 15 kHz, and several filter banks). ...

The basic characteristics of the instrument are set by the aperture, focal length and resolution of the image forming lens, the dispersion of the spectrometer, and the sensitivity of the detector. ... The lens is internally focused, and maintains acceptable focus (2 pixels in the detector plane) over a typical spectral coverage of one grating setting. ... along the spatial dimension of a 25mm square detector in the final spectral image plane the 400mm lens is 3.2њ. ... Diffraction grating . ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...
