  2. HINODE (Solar-B) Sept 22, 2006 JAXA, NASA, & PPARC • Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) • Magnetic fields, photosphere, & Chromosphere (LM, NAOJ) • EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) • Transition Region, Corona (170-210 Å & 250-290 Å) (NRL, MSSL) • X-ray Telescope (XRT) • Corona, Soft X-rays (6-200 Å) • G-band 4305 Å • SAO & JAXA Uchinoura Space Center, Japan Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory

  3. XRT • Wolter-I grazing incidence mirror with co-focal visible light optics • 2048x2048 back-illuminated CCD 13.5 µm pixel size FOV 34 x 34 arcmin Plate scale 1”/pixel Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory

  4. Field of View • SOT • Broadband Filter Imager (BFI) • Narrowband Filter Imager (NFI) • EIS • 1” & 2” slits • 40” & 266” wide Slots • XRT • Full Sun & smaller Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory
