---  1999 Feb - Goddard Systems Lab - WFPC1 Different Views  ---
WFPC1 in the Systems Lab for Alignment and Calibration (SLAC). From the different picture angles, you can easily see the radiator (white curved structure), the main enclosure (tan-trimmed framework), and the optical bench (black holed object inside).

---  1999 Apr - Goddard Systems Lab - WFPC1 Deintegration  ---
WFPC1 is carefully positioned for deintegration (disassembled). In the bottom row of pictures, you can see that the optical bench has been removed from the main enclosure.

A new optical bench will be fashioned for WFC3; however, some of the optical components inside the bench will be taken out and reused for WFC3. The main enclosure and radiator will also be reused for the new instrument.
