WFPC2 These pages contain instrument-specific information about the Wide-Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), and are maintained by the ACS/WFPC2 Group in the Instruments Division at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). The WFPC2 is used to obtain high resolution images of astronomical objects over a relatively wide field of view and a broad range of wavelengths (1150 to 11,000 Å).
