AbstractUltraviolet imaging of star clusters and galaxies is a subject still in its infancy. Here we review the techniques of UV imaging and its scientific potential for studies of advanced stellar evolution, the star formation history and interstellar medium of galaxies, active nuclei, and the evolutionary state of systems observed at high redshift. Early Hubble Space Telescope imaging is expected to emphasize such programs since its image quality is excellent by earlier standards for the UV, despite the presence of spherical aberration.
