The 3000-10,000-A wavelength-region sensor that is to be used at one of the two Nasmyth foci of the ESO's New Technology Telescope, designated the ESO Multi-Mode Instrument (EMMI), will conduct multiobject and long slit spectroscopy over a large field. The EMMI optical configuration has as its goals the reduction of the number of lenses and the maximization of instrument throughput. Optical subsystems of the EMMI include a collimator, a transfer collimator in the red bandpass, and red and blue cameras. In addition to direct imaging, the instrument can be used in low, medium, and high dispersion modes by means of gratings, grisms, etc.; resolving powers lie in the 100-40,000 range, with rapid changeover among the various modes obtainable by remote control.
