Table 1 gives the relevant optical properties for each of the three cameras. Camera 1 is difiBraction limited at 1.0 mm and has the same pixel size on the sky as the planetary camera of WFPC. Our definition of diffiaction limited is five pixels between the zeros of the point spread function for the wavelength under consideration. Camera 2 is diffraction limited at 1.75 mm and Camera 3 is a wide field camera with a field of view of 51 arc seconds. The field of view in this camera is slightly larger than the disk of Jupiter.
