    The Wide Field Camera (WFC) is an optical mosaic camera for use at the prime focus of the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT).
    The WFC consists of 4 thinned EEV 2kx4k CCDs. The CCDs have a pixel size of 13.5 microns corresponding to 0.33 arcsec/pixel. The edge to edge limit of the mosaic, neglecting the ~1 arcmin inter-chip spacing, is 34.2 arcmins. The cycle time for the whole mosaic is around 42 seconds. A maximum of 6 filters could be installed in the wheel. Both broadband and Stromgren filter sets are available, as well as a range of narrowband filters.
