The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), together with the large, cold telescope of JWST, provides a huge advance for mid-infrared astronomy (5 - 28 microns). It includes imaging at the diffraction limit of the 6.5-meter telescope, coronagraphs, low resolution (R 100) spectroscopy, and moderate resolution (R 3000) spectroscopy with integral field units. In addition to this sophisticated optical design, MIRI uses 1 Megapixel mid-infrared arrays of higher performance per pixel than any such devices built previously (see accompanying poster by Ressler et al.). MIRI is being built by at a consortium of European countries and at JPL. The MIRI team has recently completed testing of a verification model of the instrument that is very similar to the flight model now under construction. We will show sample results from these tests and update the instrument description to assist the community in thinking about how to make good use of the MIRI capabilities.
