The lunar close-up steroscopic camera was used successfully on Apollo 11, 12, and 14 flights. It functioned without any technical faults and was judged convenient to use by all three crews. It recorded a variety of surface textures in the lunar soil, both disturbed and undisturbed, a number of rock surfaces in the undisturbed condition, and a number of surface samples of materials brought to the moon whose interaction with the lunar soil was to be tested. A resolution of approximately 80 microns was aimed for in the design of the camera and was indeed obtained on all pictures. Stereoscopy played a major part in interpreting surface textures and small scale structure. (Author)
