Wheels and a Destination This view of the three left wheels of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity combines two images that were taken by the rover's ) during the 34th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Sept. 9, 2012). In the distance is the lower slope of Mount Sharp.

The camera is located in the turret of tools at the end of Curiosity's robotic arm. The Sol 34 imaging by MAHLI was part of a week-long set of activities for characterizing the movement of the arm in Mars conditions.

The main purpose of Curiosity's MAHLI camera is to acquire close-up, high-resolution views of rocks and soil at the rover's Gale Crater field site. The camera is capable of focusing on any target at distances of about 0.8 inch (2.1 centimeters) to infinity, providing versatility for other uses, such as views of the rover itself from different angles.

Polski: Widok trzech lewych kół łazika Curiosity, który powstał z połączenia dwóch ujęć marsjańskiej ręcznej kamery MAHLI umieszczonej na wieżyczce rewolwerowej na końcu wysięgnika robota, ang. nazwa kamery to Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI). Zdjęcia wykonano podczas 34 marsjańskiego dnia, (lub w Sol 34) łazika Curiosity na Marsie (09 września 2012). W oddali jest stok Góry Sharp.

Wykonywanie zdjęć przez kamerę MAHLI tego dnia, było częścią zestawu czynności polegających na testowaniu ruchu ramienia w warunkach marsjańskich. Główne cele i oczekiwania od kamery MAHLI, to pozyskanie zbliżeń o wysokiej rozdzielczości skał i podłoża marsjańskiego. Kamera jest w stanie uzyskać ostrość na wszelkich obiektach odległych od 2,1 centymetra do nieskończoności, zapewniając uniwersalność przy innych operacjach takich jak autoportrety łazika pod różnymi kątami.
