Description
MICADO will be the first instrument available at the ELT. Using adaptive optics (its own SCAO system as well as the MORFEO system being built by INAF), it will enable unprecedented resolution at near-infrared wavelengths, providing diffraction limited imaging, astrometry, high contrast imaging, and slit spectroscopy. I will describe the MICADO project, indicate a few science cases that exploit its various observing modes, and present its current manufacturing status.
