OSIS User's Manual
This manual describes the present status of OSIS and observing
procedures for using it efficiently. OSIS (the
Optionally Stabilized
Imager and Spectrometer) provides
high spatial resolution for both imaging and multi-slit spectroscopy
in Visible and Infra-Red up to 2µm, over a 3'x3' field.
