ISR 95-08: STIS Science Apertures (Rev. D)
We describe the STIS apertures, which comprise UV/Optical filters, Neutral Density filters,
spectroscopic slits, coronographic masks and clear apertures of different sizes, and
nomenclature used to define the STIS apertures for the PDB and STIS proposal
instructions.
