HARMONI

HARMONI (for High Angular Resolution - Monolithic - Optical and Near-infrared - Integral Field Spectrograph) is a planned visible-light/near-infrared spectrograph with an integral field unit (IFU), intended to be one of the first instruments installed on the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), i.e., a first-light instrument. Spectral resolution over its wavelength-range will vary from R~3000 to R~17000. The aim is that it simultaneously collect 30,000+ spectra over its field of view. Also, that it serve as a widely-used, general-purpose spectrograph that is easy to operate and works efficiently, i.e., performs observations with minimal time-overhead.
