The Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera (ALSCC) was a specialised stereo camera that an astronaut could use to take closeup images of the lunar surface. It was completely self contained with its own lighting and film advance motor. It used a pair of 46.12-mm lenses with their optical axes set 29 mm apart. The aperture was fixed at f/17. It was operated by Neil Armstrong
