==Instruments== ===CHROMIS=== The ''CHROMospheric Imaging Spectrometer''<ref>{{cite web|title=CHROMIS|url=https://dubshen.astro.su.se/wiki/index.php/CHROMIS|work=SST wiki|publisher=Institute for Solar Physics|accessdate=26 September 2017}}</ref> (CHROMIS) was installed in 2016. It is similar to [[#CRISP|CRISP]] (but so far without polarimetry) and designed for use at wavelengths in the range 380–500 nm. In particular, CHROMIS is optimized for use in the Ca II H and K lines, which are formed in the upper chromosphere. The total system uses three 1920×1200-pixel Grasshopper 3 CMOS cameras from Point Grey (now FLIR). One camera is used for direct narrow-band observations and two, in a phase-diversity configuration, are collecting simultaneous wide-band image data. ===CRISP=== The ''CRisp Imaging SpectroPolarimeter''<ref>{{cite web|title=SST CRISP images|url=http://www.isf.astro.su.se/crisp.html|work=SST website|publisher=Institute for Solar Physics|accessdate=28 May 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last=Scharmer|first=G.

It operates from 510 to 860 nm and is able to measure polarization by using liquid crystal modulation combined with a polarizing beam splitter. The total system uses three 1k × 1k Sarnoff CCDs, two are used for direct narrow-band observations and the third is collecting simultaneous wide-band images. ===TRIPPEL=== The ''TRI-Port Polarimetric Echelle-Littrow''<ref>{{cite web|title=TRIPPEL spectrograph|url=http://dubshen.astro.su.se/wiki/index.php/Spectrograph|work=SST Wiki|publisher=Institute for Solar Physics|accessdate=28 May 2011}}</ref> (TRIPPEL) is a [[Littrow spectrograph]] using a 79 grooves/mm [[echelle grating]] with a blaze angle of 63.43 degrees. TRIPPEL's wavelength range is about 380–1100 nm, and it has a moderate resolution for a solar telescope, with R being approximately 200,000. This corresponds to about 1.3 km/s on the solar surface. TRIPPEL has a number of key useful features. It allows simultaneous observations at 3 different wavelengths, can in principle exploit the full spatial resolution of the SST, and has good polarimetric properties.
