What Does FOC Stand For?
FOC stands for Faint Object Camera
The Faint Object Camera (FOC) is an astronomical imaging device designed to capture images of faint celestial objects. Developed for use on space telescopes, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, the FOC employs advanced optics and sensitive detectors to achieve high-resolution imaging across a wide range of wavelengths. This capability allows astronomers to explore distant galaxies, nebulae, and other faint phenomena, significantly contributing to our understanding of the universe.
