The Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) provides imaging capabilities in broad, medium, and narrow band filters,
broad-band imaging polarimetry, coronographic imaging, and slitless grism
spectroscopy, in the wavelength range 0.8-2.5 microns.
NICMOS has three adjacent but not contiguous cameras, designed to
operate independently, each with a dedicated array at a different magnification scale. (See the Instrument Handbook for more details).
