Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
ACIS (formerly the AXAF CCD Imaging Spectrometer) is an instrument built by a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Space Research and the Pennsylvania State University for the Chandra X-ray Observatory (formerly, AXAF). Because of its ability to accurately measure the energy of single photons, it serves as an X-Ray integral field spectrograph for Chandra.
