We present the UC coronagraph, an instrument designed for exoplanet detection. It is based on a standard coronagraph where the occulting disc is substituted by a differentiation mask. The instrument includes the coronagraph itself, a star generator, and a telescope simulator. The coronagraph is mechanically independent of both auxiliary subsystems, to allow its use in an actual astronomical telescope. The turbulence generation will be simulated with a spatial light modulator (SLM) placed at the nominal pupil.
