摘要：

The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) STIS operates from the ultraviolet to near infrared (115-1000nm) providing a general purpose, imaging spectroscopic capability. An internal, two mirror relay system corrects the spherical aberration and astigmatism present at the STIS field position. Low and medium resolution imaging spectroscopy is possible throughout the spectral range and over the 25 arcsecond ultraviolet and 52 arcsecond visible fields. High resolution (30-100,000) echelle spectroscopy capability is also provided in the ultraviolet (115-310nm). Target acquisition is accomplished using the STIS cameras, either UV or visible; these cameras may also be used to provide broad band imaging over the complete spectral range or with the small selection of available bandpass filters. A wide selection of slits and apertures permit various combinations of spectral resolution and field size in all modes. On board calibration lamps provide wavelength calibration and fiat fielding capability. We report here on the optical performance of STIS as determined during orbital verification.
