View of ACIS as seen by
HRMA
From this view, you can see the ACIS focal plane array as it would
appear from the vantage point of looking down the telescope. The CCD
chips are in the square (imaging) and rectangular (spectroscoping)
arrays. In a flight configuration, you would not see the arrays, as the
optical blocking filters would be in place.
