Abstract: Hyperspaces $mathcalH(X)$ of all countable compact subsets of a metric space $X$ and $mathcal{A}_n(X)$ of infinite compact subsets which have at most $n$ ($ninmathbbN$), or finitely many ($n=omega$) or countably many ($n=omega+1$) accumulation points are studied. By descriptive set-theoretical methods, we fully characterize them for 0-dimensional, dense-in-itself, Polish spaces and partially for $sigma$-compact spaces $X$. Using the theory of absorbing sets, we get characterizations of $mathcalH(X)$, $mathcal{A}_{o}mega(X)$ and $mathcal{A}_{omega+1}(X)$ for nondegenerate connected, locally connected Polish spaces $X$ which are either locally compact or nowhere locally compact. For every $ninmathbbN$, we show that if $X$ is an interval or a simple closed curve, $mathcal{A}_n(X)$ is homeomorphic to the linear space $c_0=(x_i)inmathbb{R}^{omega}:lim{x}_i=0$ with the product topology; if $X$ is a Peano continuum and a point $pinX$ is of order $ge2$, then the hyperspace $mathcal{A}_1(X,p)$ of all compacta with exactly one accumulation point $p$ also is homeomorphic to $c_0$.
