Like other X-ray astronomy missions, the workhorse detectors of XMM will be charge coupled devices (CCDs). For the uninitiated the following set of pages provides a background to their use in X-ray astronomy. The pages are based around a paper of several years ago, written by one of the XMM SOC team members in collaboration with colleagues of the AXAF CCD Imaging Spectrometer team at Penn State University. ...

The next large instrument on a Gemini telescope, GHOST, is being built by a collaboration including AAO, ANU and NRC-Herzberg. It aims to be a high efficiency fiber fed Echelle spectrograph with a wide wavelength range. I will describe the designтАЩs background, including lenslet-based image slicing that reduces slit losses while maintaining high resolution, and why despite cost constraints, the spectrograph has several modes, including a precision radial velocity mode and a two object mode. ...
