Description
GRIS is the spectrograph developed by IAC, installed in the German solar telescope GREGOR of the Teide Observatory. It is a fundamental instrument for solar spectropolarimetry research, in the largest solar telescope in Europe. The instrument is in continuous improvement, to expand its scientific capability and to demonstrate technologies for the EST.

    NISP (EUCLID)
    The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) is an infrared spectrograph for the EUCLID mission. The aim of EUCLID is to obtain a map of the Dark matter of the Universe. NISP will provide near infrared photometry, low resolution spectra and redshifts of millions galaxies. IAC participates in the development of NISP Instrument Control Unit.
