METIS is one of the Phase 1 instruments for the E-ELT. It will offer imaging and medium-resolution spectroscopy over a wavelength range from 3\xe2\x80\x9319 micrometres, and high-resolution integral field spectroscopy over a wavelength range of 3\xe2\x80\x935.3 micrometres. METIS is the only E-ELT Phase 1 instrument to work at these longer mid-infrared wavelengths and complements the MICADO camera and HARMONI spectrograph. This engineering drawing shows a cutaway view of the METIS.
