Abstract
The paper describes the optical design and performance of an extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) spectrometer for imaging spectroscopy to be part of the scientific payload of the Solar Orbiter (SOLO) mission. The main scientific objectives are to study the solar polar region and observe in detail the evolution of corona structures from a favourable point of view at only 45 solar radii from the Sun (0.2 AU).

The instrument concept is based on a grazing incidence telescope, (1200 m focal length, 18 arcmin x 18 arcmin FoV), in Wolter configuration couple to a normalincidence VLS grating spectrometer, which preserve the stigmaticity in an extended spectral region and in the whole field-of-view.

The spectral range covered by the instrument is the 116-126 nm region at the first order and the 57-63 nm region at the second order. The spectral resolving element is 65 mÅ (I order), corresponding to a velocity resolution of 16 km/s.
