3D rendering of the ELT's METIS instrument
The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) is a multi-tool instrument that will observe in mid-infrared light once installed on ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). It will include an adaptive optics sensor, a high-resolution spectrograph, and a high-contrast camera. The instrument’s primary scientific focus will be on the study of planet-forming discs and recently formed, as well as nearby, exoplanets. The image shows an artist's 3D view of METIS based on an engineering rendering, with two people shown for scale.
