This document includes figures depicting the layouts of the LSST Camera and LSST Commissioning Camera, highlighting the arrangement and identification of science, wavefront, and guider sensors, as well as their individual readout image segments.
The LSST Camera is the sole instrument for the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory and consists of a 3.2 gigapixel focal plane mosaic with in-vacuum controllers, dedicated guider and wavefront CCDs, a three-element corrector whose largest lens is 1.55m in diameter, six optical interference filters covering a 320-1050nm band pass with an out-of-plane filter exchange mechanism, and camera slow control and data acquisition systems capable of digitizing each image in 2 seconds.
