Scientific paper

The Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) is part of the instrument complement on the Solar B satellite, scheduled for launch in the summer of 2006. The instrument has been calibrated and is presently mounted on the spacecraft. EIS is the most sensitive EUV solar spectrometer to be flown. The instrument is the first of a new generation of two optical element, solar spectrographs. Preliminary results from the laboratory focussing and calibration of the instrument will be shown. The instrument wavelength coverage includes reasonably bright spectral lines emitted by plasmas from 0.1 to 20 MK in temperature. The wavelength range also provides coronal density diagnostics. Temperature, density and velocity diagnostics will be discussed. An example observing program for exploring active region evolution and dynamics will be discussed.
