摘要
The requirements set for the focal plane instruments on XEUS are addressed. The rationale for the selection of three focal plane instruments, a wide field imager with modest spectral resolution and two narrow field imagers with high spectral resolution, is given. The principles and designs of all three instruments are shortly explained and their expected performances given. The cooling of the focal plane instruments, based on mechanical cryocoolers, is described as well.
