X-shooter is a spectrograph designed to feed the Cassegrain focus of the VLT. It may cover in a single exposure the spectral range from the UV to the H band with possible extension to the K band. The instrument is constituted by three arms, blue, visible and near-infarred, with optimized optics, coatings, dispersive elements and detectors. It operates at intermediate resolution (R = 4000-14 000), sufficient to address quantitatively a vast number of astrophysical applications. Approved as second generation instrument for the VLT, X-shooter is expected to be available to the community in the first part of the year 2008.
