Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph Instrument Handbook for Cycle 17

13.4 Apertures

---

On the following pages we provide, for each supported aperture, a description of the aperture, the wavelength dependent point source throughput of the aperture, and some advice on its use.

Wavelengths in this handbook and in STIS data products are always measured in vacuum conditions.
