[Hubble Space Telescope's wide-field planetary camera] That camera now will be fitted with the corrective mirrors as well. The mirrors act, in effect, like high-tech eyeglasses. In each pair, the first corrective mirror passes an image of the Hubble's 94. 5 inch-diameter primary mirror onto a second mirror. The second glass is formed like the Hubble's mirror, only in exact reverse, thus canceling the flaw. 1, record 5, English, - corrective%20mirror
