Here are the flattened envelopes of the sliced and stacked sky images, heading off to the spectrometer collimator mirrors in the Spectrometer Main Optics (SMO) The position of the Channel 2 collimator mirror

Here, the beam from the Channel 2 collimator is shown, heading back to one of Channel 2’s three diffraction gratings. The position of a Channel 2 grating.

The light is dispersed by the grating. Dispersion direction

...and heads back to a fold mirror.

...which sends it to the final, camera mirror, which is a common optical element for Channels 1 and 2 (as is the fold mirror)

The camera mirror forms the final image...

...on the Focal Plane Module (FPM), shown here as the green cylinder.

Here comes the beam from the Channel 1 IFU, collimated and sent to one of Channel 1’s 3 gratings...

...where it is dispersed...

...and sent via this fold mirror to share the last two mirrors on its way to the FPM with the spectrum from Channel 2.
