The OMEGA experiment consists in two sub-units: a push-broom visible 
imaging spectrometer and a whisk-broom near IR imaging spectrometer

The visible spectrometer acquires simultaneously from 16 to 128 pixels 
in a line. In the nominal mode, each pixel is observed at 96 wavelengths
from 0.364 µm to 1.070 µm. In the high resolution mode, there are 144 
wavelengths over the same range

The IR spectrometer obtains one single full sectrum during each acquisition 
period. There are two independent spectrometer channels, each covering
128 wavelengths, from 0.926 µm to 2.695 µm (C channel) and from 
2.527 µm to 5.089 µm (L channel). A flat scanning mirror in front of the
primary telescope scans across a FOV of 2.2° (16 pixel scan mode) to
8.8° (128 pixel scan mode)
