6.2 Performance of the WFC
This section describes the in-orbit performance of the complete WFC telescope (mirrors, detector and filters for the full aperture). Values for the point response function and vignetting were obtained from in-orbit calibration measurements during the mission, and from a full aperture test at MPE's PANTER X-ray beam line facility.
