The Instruments

The ELT will host several instruments with a variety of science goals. The first instruments will cover a wide wavelength range and different observing modes and are critical for achieving scientific success.

High-resolution spectrograph (HIRES, Phase A completed)

Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS)

Multi-object spectrograph (MOSAIC, Phase A completed)

Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observations (MICADO)

High Angular Resolution Monolithic Optical and Near-infrared Integral field spectrograph (HARMONI)

Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics RelaY for the ELT (MAORY)
