This page shows Gemini's current facility and visiting instruments. The expected instrument availability for the coming semester is given in the current Call for Proposals; information for the current and previous semesters (and the next semester when finalized) can be found in the schedules section. Recent science highlights from Gemini's instrumentation suite can be found here. The instrument capabilities are summarised in the Gemini Capabilities Brochure.
