General

EMMI Optical Layout

EMMI is a multipurpose instrument allowing observations in the visible wavelengths. EMMI supports the following observation modes:

News
	2002 Sep. 25: The EMMI web pages are fully updated.
	2002 Sep. 23: NOTE for the future P71 observers: the DIMD mode will no longer be available.
	2002 Sep. 23: New EMMI manual available.
	Early May 2002, a new CCD has be installed on EMMI-Red. The main documentation (manual, pages) has not yet been updated. A special page is dedicated to the commissioning data of the instrument with its new detector.
