  • AMBER (near-infrared J, H, and K band instrument of the VLT Interferometer).
  • APEX (submm telescope with heterodyne spectrometer and bolometer arrays).
  • CRIRES (cryogenic high-resolution infrared echelle spectrograph).
  • FORS1 (optical imager and low dispersion spectrograph).
  • FORS2 (optical imager and low dispersion spectrograph).
  • GIRAFFE (medium-high resolution optical fibre spectrograph [370-900 nm] with multi-object [Medusa mode] and IFU capabilities [IFU, Argus modes]). GIRAFFE is part of the FLAMES facility which can also feed UVES.
  • HAWK-I (cryogenic wide field imager).
  • ISAAC (infrared imaging and spectroscopy [1-5µm]).
  • KMOS (near-infrared multi-object integral-field spectrometer).
  • MIDI (mid-IR N-band [8-13 um] instrument of the VLT Interferometer).
  • NACO (adaptive optics assisted imaging, imaging polarimetry, coronography and spectroscopy [1-5µm]).
  • SINFONI (near-IR [1-2.5 um] integral field spectrograph fed by an adaptive optics module).
  • UVES (ultraviolet-visual echelle spectrograph [300-1100 nm]).
  • VIMOS (visible wide field imager [370-1000 nm] and multi-object spectrograph).
  • VISIR (imager/spectrometer for mid-IR N and Q bands, 8-13 and 16.5-24.5 um).
  • VISTA/VIRCAM (a 4-m class wide field survey telescope equipped with a near infrared camera VIRCAM with broad band filters at Z,Y,J,H,Ks and narrow band filters at 0.98, 0.99, and 1.18 micron).
  • VST/OmegaCAM (a 2.6-m wide field optical survey telescope equipped with an optical camera OmegaCAM operating in the u,g,r,i,z SDSS bands).
  • X-Shooter (multi wavelength (300-2500nm) medium resolution spectrograph).
